BJC is seeking an experienced Director of Development to lead a comprehensive fundraising program at an exciting point of change for a leading faith-based education and advocacy organization. BJC is headquartered in Washington, D.C., with staff working across the country; this position does not need to be based out of the D.C. headquarters.
“The law has never prevented clergy from speaking out on moral issues or engaging their congregations in civic life,” said Amanda Tyler. “But green-lighting tax-exempt churches to endorse candidates from the pulpit creates new pressure on religious leaders to align with partisan candidates and risk division within congregations and entanglement with campaign agendas.”
“By creating a national school voucher scheme, Congress has opened the door for taxpayer dollars to fund private religious education—undermining both public schools and religious freedom,” said BJC Executive Director Amanda Tyler. “On a day meant to celebrate liberty, this legislation erodes it.”
On our season 6 finale, Amanda and Holly explore some of the consequential decisions from the final days of the Supreme Court term, including Mahmoud v. Taylor – which involves parents who want to opt their children out of curriculum they find in conflict with their religious beliefs – and U.S. v. Skrmetti, which focuses on access to medical care for transgender youth. They discuss the real world implications of these and other recent rulings. Amanda and Holly also celebrate a decision from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals striking down Louisiana’s law requiring the posting of the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom and share why this case might find its way up to the Supreme Court before too long.
