History

Historical Context

After the Supreme Court’s 1990 Smith ruling limited free-exercise exemptions, Congress enacted the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in 1993, a move championed by Senator Orrin Hatch, and the 1997 Boerne decision later narrowed its reach. The Biden Education Department’s 87 actions (2021-25), 70% against faith schools, echo that legacy, prompting $14 million and $37.7 million suits against Liberty and Grand Canyon Universities.
