Court Says No Standing To Challenge State Funds For Faith-Based Agency
In Pedreira v. Kentucky Baptist Homes for Children, Inc., (WD KY, March 31, 2008), a Kentucky federal district court dismissed on standing grounds a lawsuit by Kentucky state taxpayers claiming that the state violated the Establishment Clause by providing funding to Kentucky Baptist Homes for Children (KBHC). The state pays KBHC to provide services to children placed in its care as wards of the state.
The Courier-Journal has this report on the ruling.
This post will be updated or new posts on this ruling will be posted later today. The Christian Legal Society and ADF were involved in this case.
