On April 1, Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski made history by signing a landmark bill that allows public school teachers within the state to wear religious clothing required by their religious faith in their classrooms. This was no April Fools’ joke.

NRLA President Receives
A.T. Jones Medal of Freedom


Gregory W. Hamilton, Northwest Religious Liberty Association president, received the 2010 A.T. Jones Medal of Freedom in a special presentation during the 8th-annual Religious Liberty Dinner in Washington, D.C. on April 13.

The event was sponsored by the North American Religious Liberty Association (NARLA) and Liberty magazine.

Hamilton was instrumental not only in the passage of Oregon's Workplace Religious Freedom Act, but also in promoting Oregon House Bill (HB) 3686, signed into law this year, overturning a 1923 Ku Klux Klan influenced statute barring teachers from wearing religious clothing in the state's classrooms.

Rep. Dave Hunt was also honored with the Religious Liberty Dinner's National Award for his legislative sponsorship of both the Oregon Workplace Religious Freedom Act and HB 3686.
