Federal Judge Rules Idaho Charter School has violated the rights of the first amendment of the church

A federal judge in Idaho ruled that a public charter school violated the rights of the first amendment to the church when it canceled a lease with which the church could preserve Sunday services In his gymnasium.

The decision of Chief US District Court Judge David Nye came in response to a lawsuit that focused on a lease between Truth Family Bible Church and Sage International, a charter school with a campus in Middleton, according to Idaho Education News.

The website reported that when the lease was canceled last year, Sage International signed up for around $ 15 million in bonds to finance the upgrades of construction via the Idaho Housing and Finance Association (IHFA). Lawyers for the Binding Authority of the State then marked the lease of the church as a potential infringement of the Blaine -Amendment of Idaho, which blocks religious organizations to receive tax money, it added.
