County Employees Required To Attend Constitution Course Tinged With Religion

In Carroll County, Maryland, questions have been raised about County Council last week requiring county employees to attend a seminar on the Maryland constitution led by a conservative Christian minister. The Baltimore Sun last week reported that the seminar was to be led by pastor David Whitney, speaking for the Institute on the Constitution. The Institute's description of its Maryland Constitution Course says: "As the student becomes familiar with the content of our State’s Constitution, it is our belief that the student will gain an understanding of the foundational principles and Biblical worldview of Maryland’s founders."
