TRENTON, N.J. (RNS) The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey and Americans United for Separation of Church and State filed a lawsuit Monday (June 24) to stop the state from giving more than $11 million in construction funds to a Christian seminary and a Jewish yeshiva.
The money is slated to go to Beth Medrash Govoha, a Lakewood school that trains Orthodox Jewish rabbis, and Princeton Theological Seminary, which trains Christian ministers. The private schools are among 46 New Jersey colleges and universities due to split $1.3 billion in taxpayer funds for campus construction and renovation projects.
