Christian Students Punished for Holding Biblical Beliefs
Dear Friend of Religious Liberty,
Because of your voice, Camp IdRaHaJe can continue to live out its Christian=
faith=E2=80=94free from government coercion. Praise God!

When Colorado officials tried to force the camp to allow males in girls=E2=
=80=99 private spaces, Camp IdRaHaJe didn=E2=80=99t cave. It stood firm on =
its biblical convictions=E2=80=94and said, =E2=80=9CWe=E2=80=99d rather hav=
e Jesus.=E2=80=9D
And you stood with the camp.
Thousands signed the public statement of support. The outcry was heard. Col=
orado backed down. Today, Camp IdRaHaJe remains a place where kids across t=
he state can encounter the hope of the Gospel without compromise.
But the battle for truth and freedom isn=E2=80=99t over.
In Vermont, the girls=E2=80=99 basketball team at Mid Vermont Christian Sch=
ool (MVCS) chose faith over fear=E2=80=94and paid a price.
Faced with the prospect of competing against a team that included a male wh=
o identifies as female, the school declined to play. The school and its fam=
ilies honored their biblical beliefs about God=E2=80=99s design for males a=
nd females.
In response, Vermont officials banned every MVCS middle and high school stu=
dent from participating in all state-sponsored sports. Every student=E2=80=
=94benched.
This punishment has lasted two years. And it continues.
We=E2=80=99re helping MVCS challenge this injustice in court=E2=80=94becaus=
e no school, ministry, or student should be punished for following their fa=
ith.
Will you stand with this school and its students today? Add your name to th=
e statement of support and tell Vermont: truth matters.

Christian Students Punished for Holding Biblical Beliefs
Dear Friend of Religious Liberty,
Because of your voice, Camp IdRaHaJe can continue to live out its Christian faith—free from government coercion. Praise God!
[link removed]
When Colorado officials tried to force the camp to allow males in girls’ private spaces, Camp IdRaHaJe didn’t cave. It stood firm on its biblical convictions—and said, “We’d rather have Jesus.”
And you stood with the camp.
Thousands signed the public statement of support. The outcry was heard. Colorado backed down. Today, Camp IdRaHaJe remains a place where kids across the state can encounter the hope of the Gospel without compromise.
But the battle for truth and freedom isn’t over.
In Vermont, the girls’ basketball team at Mid Vermont Christian School (MVCS) chose faith over fear—and paid a price.
Faced with the prospect of competing against a team that included a male who identifies as female, the school declined to play. The school and its families honored their biblical beliefs about God’s design for males and females.
In response, Vermont officials banned every MVCS middle and high school student from participating in all state-sponsored sports. Every student—benched.
This punishment has lasted two years. And it continues.
We’re helping MVCS challenge this injustice in court—because no school, ministry, or student should be punished for following their faith.
Will you stand with this school and its students today? Add your name to the statement of support and tell Vermont: truth matters.

Christian Students Punished for Holding Biblical Beliefs
Dear Friend of Religious Liberty,
Because of your voice, Camp IdRaHaJe can continue to live out its Christian faith—free from government coercion. Praise God!

When Colorado officials tried to force the camp to allow males in girls’ private spaces, Camp IdRaHaJe didn’t cave. It stood firm on its biblical convictions—and said, “We’d rather have Jesus.”
And you stood with the camp.
Thousands signed the public statement of support. The outcry was heard. Colorado backed down. Today, Camp IdRaHaJe remains a place where kids across the state can encounter the hope of the Gospel without compromise.
But the battle for truth and freedom isn’t over.
In Vermont, the girls’ basketball team at Mid Vermont Christian School (MVCS) chose faith over fear—and paid a price.
Faced with the prospect of competing against a team that included a male who identifies as female, the school declined to play. The school and its families honored their biblical beliefs about God’s design for males and females.
In response, Vermont officials banned every MVCS middle and high school student from participating in all state-sponsored sports. Every student—benched.
This punishment has lasted two years. And it continues.
We’re helping MVCS challenge this injustice in court—because no school, ministry, or student should be punished for following their faith.
Will you stand with this school and its students today? Add your name to the statement of support and tell Vermont: truth matters.
SIGN THE STATEMENT
