A
teacher, a coach, and a student have religious
freedoms stripped away
April
21, 2008
Dear
Crystal,
The rights of Christians are under attack again!
Consider what has happened just in the last week:
- In New Jersey, East Brunswick High School
officials told football coach Marcus Borden he
cannot kneel and bow his head while members of
his team have a student-led pre-game prayer.
(source)
- In Wisconsin’s Tomah Area School
District, a teacher refused to give a student
identified only as A.T. a grade on an art
project because his work included "John
3:16" as well as "A sign of
love." However, Buddha, Hindu and
sorcerers are considered “approved” forms of
art by the school. (source)
- In Mt. Vernon, Ohio, school leaders told
teacher John Freshwater he must put his Bible
out of sight when students are in his room. Mr.
Freshwater has refused to do so. He has had
a Bible on his desk for the past 18 years. (source)
Our religious freedoms are slowly being taken away,
mainly because Christians have not taken a stand!
People of faith are being forced to remain silent
while other religions are accepted in the name of
“tolerance.”

Action! |
