The work continues. This aspect of the legal battle will likely be long. Thankful today for each student, family and staff member who has spoken TRUTH about racism and abuses at Faith Christian Academy Arvada, Colorado.

Colorado Christian school seeking broad 'ministerial exception' from 10th Circuit A U.S. appeals court panel on Tuesday will take up the latest high-profile case to test the limits of an exemption from anti-discrimination laws for religious schools, with a Colorado Christian academy claiming it should apply broadly to "teachers, chaplains and other leaders."

3 years ago, in January, February and March, in the wake of Faith Christian Academy Leadership and School Board trying to sweep the impact of racism at the school under the rug, dozens of students, alumni and their families began sharing their experiences at Faith Christian Academy (Arvada, CO). To every student and parent who has shared their experiences of racism, sexism, homophobia and other abuses at Faith Christian Academy, you are believed and you are valued. Thank you for your courage in sharing. You are not forgotten. You matter.

Support from our Denver Area Community has been a consistent encouragement to the students, alumni & families impacted by racism & discrimination in the Faith Christian Academy community. Photo from the Protest against racism at Faith Christian Academy. Spring 2018. Photo:Dave Russell

Being unsupported and unprotected by faculty and administration at Faith Christian is a consistent theme in the statements from marginalized students.

Racism. Homophobia. Sexism. Bigoted and harmful views, words and world-views shape and impact our students.

What does it TEACH students when educators and administrators are silent in the face of racism, homophobia and sexism? What does it TEACH students when educators and administrators are participating in racism, homophobia and sexism?
