A Christian college, The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, continues to be excluded from the Chicago Public Schools student teacher program after suing for religious discrimination, the college’s lawyer told The College Fix.
In an exclusive interview, senior counsel on the case Jeremiah Galus said that as of Jan. 7, Chicago Public Schools still wasn’t allowing Moody’s student teachers to work in its schools....
Moody began offering a Bachelor of Arts in elementary education in 2024. However, according to an ADF news release, Chicago public school leaders refused to employ Moody’s student teachers unless the college abandons its religious hiring practices by complying with the school district’s non-discrimination policy.
“Specifically, Chicago Public Schools insists that Moody sign two agreements that contain provisions prohibiting Moody from employing only those who share its religious beliefs and agree to comply with its standards of Christian conduct,” the lawsuit claims.

The Left ignores laws and court decisions with impunity.
They are above the law.
Everyone but Christians. One day soon Jesus will have had enough.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
They only invoke the law when it's to their benefit, that is, to hamstring the right.
Why on earth would any Christian want to teach in Chicago public schools anyway?
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Those young student teachers should take joy in that high level officers of the public schools are taking this anti-Christ position, which will be added to their testimony and enhance their good name among respected moral people, and also among their own students who will come to know them well.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely,for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you" (Matthew 5:10-12 AV; bolding added for emphasis)
