Jerry Rutherford, president of World Changers, appeared before the Collier County School Board on Thursday to ask for a reversal of the decision but received the same response. "This rejection is a slap in the face," said Rutherford, according to Naples News. "The decision to deny access to community groups that are religious in nature is censorship and bias." In November, Rutherford routinely submitted his request to set up tables offering free Bibles to district students on Religious Freedom Day. But Superintendent Dennis Thompson, who had allowed the activity in the past two years, denied his request last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like tying a frog to a perfectly good BLT. How does it make any sense? Edited January 18, 2009 by Samthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just one battle that needs to be acknowledged, not by just reading about it and voicing our opinions, but allowing them to know how you view their actions and why.

I thought the Constitution made everyday religious freedom day! To those of us who accept and believe in Christ, it is, but for those who don't they want to turn off the light so not to see their sins. Unfortunately, there are mot who wish to live in darkness then in the light. Doing a simple search, I have found this on the internet, but the article states that it has been respected before 2009 ... http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/20...20090113-8.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
