State revokes funding for Christian group fighting gang violence due to hiring practices

Whether faith-based groups are allowed to solely hire people that agree with their faith is a question again before the courts. Youth 71Five Ministries in Oregon is appealing to the U.S. Court of Appeals after state funding was revoked due to its requirement that employees sign a statement of faith, arguing the decision violates First Amendment rights and referencing a 2017 Supreme Court precedent. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/state-revokes-funding-for-christian-group-fighting-gang-violence-due-to-hiring-practices #TheCenterSquare #Youth71FiveMinistries #AllianceDefendingFreedom #FaithBasedGroups #FundingRevoked #ChristianGroup #FightingGangViolence #MinistryInOregon #AtRiskYouth #StateFunding #Employees #Volunteers #StatementOfFaithDocument #VancouverWa #ClarkCountyWa #ClarkCountyNews #ClarkCountyToday
