The Christian law firm Alliance Defending Freedom has launched a lawsuit against heads of Colorado’s Department of Early Childhood after the government organization ruled that the camp could not obtain a license to operate if they did not allow boys and girls to share bathrooms and tents. A press release from the ADF explains:
Camp IdRaHaJe, which derives its name from the song “I’d Rather Have Jesus,” has served children in Bailey, Colorado since 1948 and has maintained a resident camp license in the state since 1995….Each year, 2,500 to 3,000 students attend, and the camp’s mission is to “win souls to Jesus Christ through the spreading of the Gospel.”
Recently, the department that issues resident camp licenses amended its regulations, requiring children’s camps to allow campers to access bathing, dressing, and sleeping facilities designated to the opposite sex.
When IdRaHaJe requested to run its camp in line with its religious beliefs, the department denied the request, forcing the camp to choose between upholding its beliefs about biological sex and risk losing its license or abandoning its beliefs and mission to minister to children.
The ADF breaks this down further in their filing: (Image on link)
ADF Legal Counsel Andrea Dill explained in a statement:
“The government has no place telling religious summer camps that it’s ‘lights out’ for upholding their religious beliefs about human sexuality.
Camp IdRaHaJe exists to present the truth of the Gospel to children who are building character and lifelong memories. But the Colorado government is putting its dangerous agenda—that is losing popularity across the globe—ahead of its kids. We are urging the court to allow IdRaHaJe to operate as it has for over 75 years: as a Christian summer camp that accepts all campers without fear of being punished for its beliefs.”
Just try it.
Slap the state with a 100M lawsuit.
Freedom of religion.

Isaiah 5:18 (NASB)
Woe to those who drag iniquity with the cords of falsehood,
And sin as if with cart ropes;
Isaiah 5:20 (NASB)
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
It’s just as bad for the boys, putting them in bondage to lust and perversion possibly for life.

When we were at Christian camp, the boys and girls couldn’t even swim at the same time.

To answer your question, mail-in ballots.
Where are the lawyers at the ACLJ. Oh never mind they need money. Lots and lots of money.
Christians have to get militant. Christians should take time out to continually protest their governments when the government turns against them.
Pingalino!
It’s the people of CO who put these traitors in office.
