Darby debate: Focus on religion a central ADF tenet
By MICHAEL MOORE of the Missoulian

News analysis

The Alliance Defense Fund has been in the news a lot in recent weeks.

Midweek, the ADF, a nonprofit legal foundation created in 1994 by prominent Christian conservatives, was on the losing side of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling where the justices said states can withhold scholarship money from students preparing for the ministry.

The ADF also weighed in on the debate over homosexual marriage in San Francisco, suing the city for allowing gay marriages in violation of California state law.

And finally, ADF officially became part of the debate over a new science policy recently approved by the Darby School Board. At a Tuesday night meeting, the board retained by a 3-2 vote a Lincoln attorney whose fees and costs will be paid by ADF in the event the school district is sued over the science policy.
