Americans United Hails Florida Supreme Court Ruling Removing Deceptive Amendments From Florida Ballot. Decision Preserves Florida Constitution's Religious Liberty Protections, Says Church-State Watchdog Group
Americans United for Separation of Church and State hailed today’s ruling by the Florida Supreme Court removing two ballot amendments that would have erased religious freedom safeguards and harmed public schools in the state.
The lawsuit, Ford v. Browning, filed by Americans United and other civil liberties and education groups in June, asserted the Taxation and Budget Reform Commission exceeded its authority by approving both ballot amendments and that one of the amendments is worded in a misleading manner.
