By

I am very pleased to announce an important development that extends our international outreach to Asia. We have formed a partnership with Handong International Law School in South Korea – a program designed to provide both education and training for law students in U.S. and international law. It is clear that there’s a growing need…
9-11 Tribute: “Seven in Heaven Way” Triggers Unwarranted Outrage in NYC
By
Jay Sekulow
Here we go again. This time an atheist group is offended because New York City has named a street to honor seven brave firefighters who gave their lives in the tragic attacks on 9-11. A new street sign was erected just days ago outside the Brooklyn firehouse where the heroes once served. The name of…
Another Apology for Pledge Debacle Only Raises More Questions for NBC
By
Jay Sekulow
For the second time, NBC has issued what it says is an apology for editing out the phrase “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance (twice) in a televised tribute at the U.S. Open golf championship outside our nation’s capital. I first reported about this on Monday. The problem: this apology raises more questions than…
Defending Rights of Churches at Supreme Court
By
Jay Sekulow
There’s a case now before the U.S. Supreme Court that goes to the heart of the constitutional protections afforded to churches and ministries. The case is called Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) (No. 10-553). At issue: the freedom of churches to select religiously commissioned teachers for their religious…
NBC Should Pledge to Air Entire Pledge with “Under God”
By
Jay Sekulow
The United States Open golf tournament – 111 years of history. It’s America’s venerable and prestigious golf championship. And, for the third time in its long history, the U.S. Open was held at Congressional Country Club, just outside the nation’s capital. NBC televised the event, in conjunction with the United States Golf Association (USGA). They spent…
Supreme Court Should OK Display of 10 Commandments in OH Courtroom
By
Jay Sekulow
It’s a legal challenge that’s been underway for years. And, now, we’re asking the Supreme Court of the United States to get involved. We filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari at the Supreme Court urging the high court to take an Ohio case and overturn a federal appeals court decision that declared a poster…
Pledge Victory Stands: Supreme Court Rejects NH Case
By
Jay Sekulow
I’m delighted to report that the Supreme Court of the United States declined to take a case out of New Hampshire, leaving intact a decision by a federal appeals court that upholds the constitutionality of a New Hampshire law requiring schools to set aside time daily for students to voluntarily recite the Pledge of Allegiance.…
An International Push for Religious Freedom
By
Jay Sekulow
One of our top priorities at the ACLJ is to ensure that religious freedom is protected here and around the globe. We work on this issue daily through our international affiliate, the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ). We report regularly about the dangers facing Christians who are often persecuted – even put to death…
Kudos to Indiana: No More $$ for Planned Parenthood
By
Jay Sekulow
It’s a pro-life law that is getting a lot of attention – and a law under attack by Planned Parenthood and the ACLU. I’m talking about a new law in the state of Indiana that prohibits the distribution of federal funds it receives to organizations like Planned Parenthood that perform abortions. I applaud Indiana’s approach…
A Flotilla Filled With Danger
By
Jay Sekulow
It’s an act of provocation – an act that is denounced by those who truly want peace in the Middle East. The Turkish government is moving forward with plans to send a flotilla destined for Gaza. Here’s the problem: this is not a genuine move to bring humanitarian aid to the region, as organizers claim. …
