Freedom From Religion Foundation, Inc., v. Bjergaard
The Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a federal lawsuit in
North Dakota against the Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch (DBGR) and the
State of North Dakota to challenge state funding of faith-based
organizations that provide social services. The lawsuit claims that,
by referring youth and funding, DBGR activities the state and county
have endorsed a faith-based approach to social services, in
violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution that forbids
government to promote the establishment of religion.
