Courts Not Fooled by Religious Witch Hunt
by Tony Perkins, FRC Washindton Update: Until last year, the Indiana statehouse opened every session in prayer, a tradition that's been a part of the assembly's proceedings for nearly 190 years. Yesterday, a 7th Circuit Court of Appeals panel, persuaded by the Liberty Counsel, reinstated that practice. By a vote of 2-1, the judges dismissed the suit brought by a group of taxpayers, which, the court said, "lacked the legal standing to bring the case" in the first place. FRC and the Alliance Defense Fund teamed up to submit a brief in the case, which argued that prohibiting the prayers was an unconstitutional constraint of religion. Meanwhile, ADF had its hands full in Kentucky, representing Timothy Morrison, a student who was forced to participate in school-sponsored "diversity training." Because the program also included a video that "instructed students to suppress Christian perspectives" on homosexuality, Morrison sued--and won. The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that silencing students because of their personal beliefs is a clear violation of free speech.Tags:6th Circuit Court of Appeals, 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, Family Research Council, FRC, free speech, religous freedom, Tony PerkinsTo share or post to your site, click on "Post Link".
