CFI opposes school voucher programs, which divert money from public schools to private religious schools that are permitted to discriminate in admissions and employment. In the 2nd Quarter of 2018, CFI lobbied to oppose H.R. 5199, the Education Savings Accounts for Military Families Act of 2018, S. 2517, the Military Education Savings Account Act of 2018, and identical provisions in the FY2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). CFI strongly supports the Johnson Amendment, which protects the right of Americans to a secular electoral process free from partisan endorsement by tax-exempt religious organizations. In the 2nd Quarter of 2018, CFI lobbied to keep out of FY 2019 appropriations legislation provisions that would weaken the Johnson Amendment, including Section 112 of the House Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill. CFI supports the right of all service members, including nontheists, to freely exercise their religious belief or lack thereof, to receive equal treatment, and to receive equal access to employment opportunities in the U.S. military. In the 2nd Quarter of 2018, CFI lobbied for congressional oversight of military chaplain accessions policy and, in particular, oversight of the U.S. Navy's rejection of a qualified Humanist candidate despite the lack of a single nontheist chaplain in the Chaplain Corps, which is responsible for providing pastoral care to all service members regardless of their individual belief system. CFI supports the First Amendment right of every person to freedom from religion and freedom from religious discrimination. CFI is particularly concerned that discrimination continues against groups that have historically been marginalized for religious reasons. One person's religious beliefs are never an acceptable justification for discrimination or harmful conduct toward another person or group of individuals. In the 2nd Quarter of 2018, CFI lobbied to support the Do No Harm Act (H.R. 3222 and S. 2918). In addition, CFI lobbied to oppose S. 2525, the First Amendment Defense Act. In addition, CFI lobbied to oppose the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court (PN2259-115). Judge Kavanaugh has a record of support for religious discrimination.

Voucher program, as well as additional data in order to properly perform the statutorily-required evaluation and increase the accountability and transparency of the program Oppose HR 4508, the PROSPER Act, which is the House version of legislation to reauthorize the Higher Education Act. It exacerbates the increasing burden of student debt and continued inequity in higher education access and outcomes. It would make higher education less affordable, saddle students with greater debt, and push more students into loan default Support the Supporting the Teaching Profession Through Revitalizing Investments in Valuable Educators Act (STRIVE) Act, which would work to strengthen the federal financial support and preparation that teachers and early childhood educators receive to ensure that teachers are better supported.
