The other shoe has dropped. Today the Freedom From Religion Foundation announced that it had filed legal papers challenging a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services grant to Emory Universitys Interfaith Health Program. Heres a press release describing the partners benefitting from the HHS grant to Emory. In many cases, they are traditional religiously-affiliated hospitals, attempting to reinvigorate the religious dimensions of their original missions.
Just so you know, in 1899 the Supreme Court upheld public aid to a religiously-affiliated hospital in Bradfield v. Roberts.
Here is the FFRF press release announcing its complaint. As soon as I can get my hands on the FFRF brief, Ill write at greater length. In the mean time, youll have to be satisfied with this piece on the other part of the FFRFs suit.
