The Supreme Court has agreed to take up a case to review whether the City of Philadelphia can exclude a charitable organization from a foster care program because of its religious-based objection to same-sex marriage.
The top court on Feb. 24 granted a petition (pdf) to review the case, cited as Sharonell Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, which would clarify the role of faith-based agencies in the foster care system. The court didn’t give reasons for its decision.
