ACLU files suit against agency clarionledger.com The Clarion-Ledger:
"The lawsuit asks a federal judge for an injunction to prevent future summits with religious activity and require the state to refund any federal funding used to pay for the event.
The summit was conducted by DHS' 'Just Wait' Abstinence Unit. The lawsuit said the program began with a minister's prayer and included religious themes and Christian messages throughout. The lawsuit said then-DHS Executive Director Don Taylor introduced Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant as someone who 'was not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.'
The lawsuit said during the event, Adams County Judge John Hudson, one of the speakers, told the group: 'Abstain, God says, from promiscuous sex - thou shalt not commit adultery.'"
