FFRF Sues VA for Violation of Establishment Clause
by Guest Blogger, 5/30/2006
Interesting case filed by Freedom From Religion Foundation:
On April 18, the Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) filed suit against officials of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), claiming that the VA's hospital chaplaincy program violates the Establishment Clause.
FFRF has brought two previous lawsuits against government programs that link religion and healthcare. This case, should it be determined in FFRF's favor, could impact the historic use of chaplancy in various other aspects of healthcare.
