WASHINGTON
The Supreme Court is set to decide soon whether conservative Christians have a constitutional right to refuse to work with same-sex couples while participating in a city-funded foster care program that forbids such discrimination.
It is the latest and possibly most significant culture-wars clash between the 1st Amendment’s right to the free exercise of religion which has been bolstered of late by the court’s conservatives and the right to marriage equality that was upheld in a 5-4 liberal decision in 2015.

Judge finds Wayne State violated rights of student religious group
The Detroit News
A federal judge has ruled that Wayne State University discriminated against a Christian student group by denying it official recognition because it requires its leaders to be Christians.
In fall 2017, Wayne State flagged InterVarsity s constitution requiring that those in the group s leadership be Christian. The Christian group was decertified in October 2017 after refusing to drop the leadership requirement from its bylaws; the university restored recognition in 2018.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Robert Cleland issued a permanent injunction requiring the university to change its rules and recognize the leaders of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, a religious outreach and ministry group that is active on more than 600 college campuses across America.
