AF Academy Sued Over Religious Proselytization

The controversy over Christian proselytization at the U.S. Air Force Academy (see prior posting) has finally found its way into the courts. The Associated Press reports that yesterday in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a Jewish father of a recent graduate and a currently enrolled Air Force Academy cadet sued the Air Force. The father, Mikey Weinstein, is himself an Academy graduate. An outspoken critic of the situation at the Academy, Weinstein claims that senior officers and cadets illegally imposed Christianity on others at the school. [Thanks to Brad M.
