Protecting Religious Organizations from Discrimination

Exposing discriminatory laws and regulations to prevent the exclusion of religious organizations and activities from public programs.

Supreme Court of the United States grants certiorari

Supreme Court of the United States grants certiorari to review a lower-court decision that denied Catholic Charities a Wisconsin state tax exemption for religious organizations.  The Court will review the constitutionality of Wisconsin’s rule limiting the exemption only to organizations that engage in “typical” religious activities like proselytization rather than broader faith-based missions like service or charity.
