Religious Tolerance Is Dramatically Improved At Air Force Academy

An AP report yesterday says that religious tolerance has dramatically improved at the U.S. Air Force Academy. After extensive complaints, and even a lawsuit, charging Christian proselytizing of cadets, Academy superintendent, Air Force Lt. Gen. Michael Gould, says there has been a top down campaign to insure respect for beliefs of all cadets and a proactive attempt to accommodate all religions, as well as nonbelievers. A Cadet Interfaith Council meets regularly with chaplains to discuss issues. Even long-time critic Mikey Weinstein has praise for the new atmosphere at the Academy, saying that Gen Gould so far "has fixed everything." (See prior related posting.)
