More denial of rights on a religious basis. From Associated Content:
A federal judge has ruled that a federal employee with the Defense Logistics Agency in Columbus, Ohio, may legally post a flyer that posts a religious viewpoint on an employee bulletin board it was announced yesterday. The Defense Logistics Agency is a part of the Department of Defense.
Gary Lister, an employee of the Defense Supply Center had filed a request with his employer in October 2005 to post a flyer that warned that donations to a charitable federal program could be used to support abortion, the homosexual agenda, promiscuity, and New Age mysticism. Officials denied the request a few days later. Other employees had been allowed to post material, however.
It's heartening to see there are some judges still capable of reading the constitution and ruling according to it, rather than their personal biases. I doubt we'd be seeing succesful defenses of religious rights, though, were it not for the work of groups like the Alliance Defense Fund.
An employee posting his personal religious views on a public bulletin board does NOT constitute "Congress [making a] law respecting an establishment of religion." Nor does it constitute a "theocracy."
