A Southern California church and its preschool have asked a U.S. District Court to block a cutoff of funds from a federal food aid program in a dispute over the Biden administration's gender rules, which they say violate their religious beliefs.
Attorneys for the Church of Compassion and the Dayspring Christian Learning Center in El Cajon say officials at the California Department of Social Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture removed the school from participation in the Child and Adult Food Care Program. The federal program provides $3,500 to $4,500 a month to help feed impoverished students attending the school’s preschool and day care programs.
Attorneys at Alliance Defending Freedom, which is representing the plaintiffs, said the school had received funding “for nearly 20 years” without any trouble. Attorneys asked the court to issue a preliminary injunction against the state and federal agencies and reinstate their clients’ food program agreement.
“But while the Church and Preschool serve all families, they will not teach or promote all messages,” the amended complaint states. They say that failure to comply with the new Title IX rules would cost them “the right to receive generally available public funds to feed needy children” in the El Cajon community.
