Air Force Drops Course Reading That Encouraged Chapel Attendance

Military.com reports that last week, after receiving a letter from the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, the Air Force dropped a required reading from its online Squadron Officer School's course. At issue was a section of the reading titled “Spiritual and Ethical Responsibilities of the Leader." It said that officership carries with it moral responsibility and that the government expects officers’ conduct to reflect the ideals and values that our nation cherishes. It continued: "If you attend chapel regularly, both officers and airmen are likely to follow this example."
