一名海军陆战队退伍军人和五个孩子的母亲正在起诉俄勒冈州的一个学区，指控官员仅仅因为教材反映了基督教世界观而拒绝为其报销学术课程费用。
A Marine veteran and mother of five is suing an Oregon school district, alleging officials denied reimbursement for academic curriculum solely because the books reflected a Christian worldview.
苔莎·布尔赞（Tessa Bulzan）在孩子们学校发生的一起事件与她的道德和圣经信仰发生冲突后，辞去了年薪六位的工作，并于2025年7月加入了希尔斯伯勒学区（Hillsboro School District）的家庭学校合作项目。她说，该学区最初批准了她的基督教课程具有学术有效性，但在几个月后又拒绝报销。
Tessa Bulzan, who left a six-figure job after an incident at her children’s school conflicted with her moral and biblical beliefs, joined Hillsboro School District’s homeschool partnership program in July 2025. She says the district initially approved her Christian curriculum as academically valid before denying reimbursement months later.
“当时发生了一起事件，一名老师说了一些违背我们道德和圣经信仰的话，这太令人痛心了。经过大量祈祷，我和丈夫决定辞去我年薪六位数的工作，成为一名全职母亲，开始在家教育我们的孩子，”布尔赞周三对福克斯新闻数字频道（Fox News Digital）表示。“到目前为止，这是我们做过的最好的决定。” 加利福尼亚州一学区因学生被指换上穆斯林服饰的清真寺远足活动而被起诉 布尔赞说，加入希尔斯伯勒的家庭学校合作项目感觉就像是祷告得到了回应，特别是考虑到在家上学费用高昂，而她丈夫在新工作中的收入不到5万美元。
"There was an incident where a teacher said something against our moral and biblical beliefs, and it was so convicting and, after a lot of prayer, my husband and I decided that I would quit my six-figure job and I would become a stay-at-home mother and start homeschooling our children," Bulzan told Fox News Digital on Wednesday. "And so far, it's been the best decision we've ever made." CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DISTRICT SUED OVER FIELD TRIP TO MOSQUE WHERE STUDENTS ALLEGEDLY DONNED MUSLIM GARB Bulzan said joining Hillsboro’s homeschool partnership program felt like an answer to prayer, particularly because homeschooling was expensive, and her husband was earning less than $50,000 in his new job.
她说，得知他们已经在使用的包括Abeka和Classical Conversations在内的基督教课程符合学区的学术要求时，全家人备受鼓舞。
She said the family was encouraged to learn that the Christian curriculum they were already using, including Abeka and Classical Conversations, met the district’s academic requirements.
“然后在1月，当我们去报销或寻求报销该课程费用时，遭到拒绝，原因仅仅是因为其作者的圣经世界信仰，”布尔赞说。
"Then in January, when we went to go reimburse or seek reimbursement for that curriculum, we were denied solely on its author's biblical world beliefs," Bulzan said.
布尔赞表示，当她的报销申请被拒绝时，她感到震惊和沮丧，因为这家人原本计划将这笔钱用于课外活动和补充课程。
Bulzan said she was shocked and devastated when her reimbursement request was denied because the family had planned to use the money for extracurricular activities and additional curriculum.
威斯康星州学生指控学校禁止她在毕业典礼上使用圣经经文这名学生表示，她曾向学校管理人员询问为何学校会拒绝那些学术上严谨的教学材料——其中包括一本专门帮助她患有阅读障碍的女儿学习的书法练习册。据她描述，管理人员承认学校确实没有其他同等水平的替代教材，但以该教材作者的宗教世界观（以及对上帝的提及和圣经内容的引用）为由，决定不为其提供资金支持。
WISCONSIN STUDENT ALLEGES SCHOOL BARRED HER FROM USING BIBLE VERSE AT GRADUATION She said she questioned an administrator about why the district would reject academically rigorous core materials, including a cursive book used to help her daughter, who has dyslexia. According to Bulzan, the administrator acknowledged that there was no comparable alternative at the same academic level but said the materials could not be funded because of the author’s biblical worldview, references to God and incidental Scripture.
“这完全就是歧视，”布尔赞（Bulzan）说，“当我刚开始这个教学项目时，学校方面明确表示我的所有课程不仅符合俄勒冈州教育委员会的标准，甚至还超出了这些标准。”她继续说道：“数学、算术、写作、语法等所有用于满足学校要求的教材都得到了学校的认可，没有任何异议或拒绝。”
"One-hundred percent, it was discrimination," Bulzan said. "When I first started the program, I was told that all of my curriculum not only met the standards of the school board and the state of Oregon, but it excelled and went past most of their standards for all of their core." "So, math, arithmetic, writing, grammar, all of these books that I was using to satisfy their academic requirements were all being accepted and there was no argument, there was no denial of that," she continued.
“当我自己的教学材料被拒绝使用时，我想弄清楚：究竟是因为这些教材是圣经相关的，还是因为我的基督教信仰？还是学校只是想保持中立，确保每个人在报销流程中都能得到公平对待？”
"When I was denied, I wanted to understand, is it just because it's the Bible or and my Christian beliefs, or is it because they just are trying to be neutral? They're trying to make sure that everybody has a fair play in the reimbursement process?"
摇摆州市长因城市穆斯林节庆展示活动引发宗教偏见争议布尔赞还表示，在经过调查后，她觉得自己被故意针对了。她指出：“我很快意识到事实并非如此——学校之所以针对我，其实是因为我购买了两本世界观截然相反的书籍；在我看来，这些书籍根本不应该在学校内被使用或被教授。”
SWING STATE MAYOR SUED AS CITY’S MUSLIM HOLIDAY DISPLAYS IGNITE RELIGIOUS-FAVORITISM FIGHT Bulzan said that after some investigation on her part, she felt as if she was being singled out. "What I quickly realized is that that's not true, that they were singling me out as a Christian because I bought two different books with very, very secular and very opposing worldviews that I, in my opinion, should not be taught or be within the school district," she said.
“其中一种宗教信仰具有印度或传统文化的特色——他们崇拜水神，并相信人们在饮水时，这些水神就会融入他们的体内，”Bulzan解释道。“因此，他们允许其他形式的宗教活动，但拒绝接受我的语法书，因为这本书中提到了‘上帝’这一概念。”
"One of them is of Indian or ancestral nature where they're worshiping water spirits, and they believe that as you drink water, these spirits become part of you," Bulzan added. "And so they're allowing other forms of worship for reimbursement, but they won't allow my grammar book because it references God."

VERMONT PAYS $566K IN DAMAGES, LEGAL FEES TO CHRISTIAN SCHOOL IT BANNED FROM ALL SPORTS COMPETITIONS FOR YEARS In September, ADF attorneys filed suit against the Hillsboro School District in federal court.
“我们刚刚在俄勒冈州的联邦法院提起了这起诉讼，目前还处于非常早期的阶段，但案件中的事实非常明确，”ADF的律师Kate Anderson告诉Fox News Digital。
"We just filed this case in federal court in Oregon, so it's very early stages, but the case is really clear here," ADF attorney Kate Anderson told Fox News Digital.
“这属于宗教歧视行为，而最高法院及宪法都是明确反对这种歧视的，”她补充道。“在过去十年中，最高法院多次强调：当政府设立一个可以向任何人提供资金的公共福利项目时，不得排斥任何宗教活动或宗教内容。”
"This is religious discrimination, and it's discrimination that the Supreme Court and the Constitution does not stand for," she added. "Over the last decade, the Supreme Court has over and over again said that when a government sets out a public benefit program like this funding that can go to any person, it cannot exclude religious conduct, religious content."
“在这起案件中，问题在于学校的宗教课程设置，”Anderson进一步指出。“宗教家庭应该与世俗家庭受到平等对待，他们的课程也应该享有同样的权利。因此，这种做法显然违反了宪法，我们非常希望法院能尽快介入并作出公正裁决。”
"In this case, it's religious curriculum," Anderson added. "Religious families need to be treated on equal footing with secular families and the same with their curriculum. And so this violates the Constitution very clearly, and we're very hopeful that the court will step in quickly."
