A U.S. District Court judge has recently denied the request for a preliminary injunction from a Baltimore-area Christian school, which is suing the state of Maryland after state officials excluded the school from a public-funded voucher program.
In a ruling on Jan. 21, U.S. District Court Judge Stephanie Gallagher decided that Bethel Christian Academy could not allow students to continue to attend Bethel with vouchers while awaiting a final judgment. Gallagher said that the church-run school had not proved the state discriminated against its religious beliefs, as alleged in the lawsuit.
