From: The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis
The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis is grateful for the Minnesota Court of Appeals’ decision. The United States and Minnesota Constitutions recognize the right to practice our religion without government interference, which necessarily includes how we educate our youth in the faith. Decades of precedent from the United States and Minnesota Supreme Courts, as well as other cases from around the country, have recognized the protections that the First Amendment provides to religious organizations. Monday’s decision from the Minnesota Court of Appeals confirms that constitutional promise.
