The Home School Legal Defense Association is reporting that Obama’s campaign has agreed to change the name of its “Joshua Generation Project.” The HSLDA accused the campaign of infringing on its copyrighted “Generation Joshua,” program, which trains young people on entering public life.

Obama’s Joshua Generation Project included plans to host house parties and concerts aimed at engaging young Catholics and evangelicals.
