ACLU of Massachusetts v. Secretary of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (05/16/2005)
Defendants have provided more than one million dollars of public funds to an organization called the "Silver Ring Thing" (or "SRT"). The Silver Ring Thing is a ministry that uses abstinence education as a means to bring "unchurched" students to Jesus Christ. Federal dollars support the Silver Ring Thing's religious activities and religious content. Both because the federal funding of the Silver Ring Thing constitutes a direct government grant to a pervasively sectarian institution and because the federal dollars are demonstrably underwriting religious activities and religious content, the funding violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
