Students, as you head back to school, know your religious and free speech rights both in and out of the classroom.
Alliance Defending Freedom (formerly Alliance Defense Fund) has assembled two web pages listing some infringements students have experienced. The web page for primary schools is here. The web page for higher education is here.
Also, check out the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE).
Reports Bob Kellogg with OneNewsNow: “A lawsuit has been filed on behalf of pro-life college students in Ohio who allege their First Amendment Rights were violated during a pro-life rally.” The rally was a “Stand Up for Religious Freedom” event at Sinclair Community College.
The headline is unfortunately true. A Phoenix man is being harassed by the city for hosting a home Bible study, which the city claims is “in violation of the city’s building code laws.” The man, Michael Salman, is facing jail time. Todd Starnes with FOX News reports on this disturbing turn of events here.
This is a direct attack on religious freedom by the city of Phoenix.
