Gavin Newsom, left, flanked by Attorney General Xavier Becerra, right, answers a question concerning a lawsuit the state will likely file against President Donald Trump over his emergency declaration to fund a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border Friday, Feb. 15, 2019, in Sacramento, Calif.district court because the California Department of Social Services has barred religious organizations from receiving public funding.
The Church of Compassion and its preschool Dayspring Christian Learning Center, located in Southern California, have been jointly meeting their neighbors’ needs for over twenty years. One of the ways they’ve been doing that is via the state-funded Child and Adult Care Food Program. In El Cajon, there is a large immigrant population. 40% of the children attending the preschool live below the poverty level and receive tuition assistance.
After threatening the church to comply, the California Department of Social Services eventually cut off funds due to this refusal to sign the anti-discrimination paperwork — which the church viewed as an abdication of their beliefs — and the fact that they require staff to read a handbook which disallows LGBT lifestyles.
