The Right Call
Larry and Katrina, a Christian couple married nearly six years, are the proud parents of two beautiful little girls, one of whom just joined the family last month. When their daughters are old enough, they will be home-schooled. “We just want to spend as much time as possible with our children,” Larry said. “We want to be the primary influence on their lives.” Of course, they will have that opportunity. It seems ridiculous to think that their choice to school their children in their home was ever at risk – but it was.

Protecting Battesimo
"Battesimo" is Italian for baptism, and if one Italian atheist had his way, the word – and its religious significance – would be banished. But that won't happen now, and a potentially very bad precedent of international law has been averted, thanks to an Italian Alliance Defense Fund allied attorney.

Maricopa School District reverses course, will allow religious flier distribution
Maricopa Unified School District officials have reversed course and will allow the distribution of fliers by a local church on campus. Alliance Defense Fund attorneys filed suit July 24 after a church and its pastor were told that they would not be permitted to distribute their fliers to students. District policy allows nonprofit organizations to distribute literature, but only if the fliers do not contain religious material.
