Christian colleges and parents sue over provision in education budget

Two Christian colleges filed a lawsuit Wednesday challenging a new state law they say takes away their ability to offer on-campus college credits to high school students for free.

It's the first lawsuit filed challenging a provision in the state's next $72 billion two-year budget, which Gov. Tim Walz ceremonially signed into law Wednesday on the Capitol steps.

The complaint, filed by a group of parents, Crown College in St. Bonifacius, Minn., and the University of Northwestern in St. Paul, lists Walz and Department of Education Commissioner Willie Jett as defendants.
