The Division of Human Rights has warned the rink, which also advertises Christian skating on Sunday afternoons, that it may be violating anti-discrimination laws. The agency also threatened to charge a local weekly newspaper that published the rink's advertisement of its Christian music skate with "aiding and abetting" unlawful discrimination.
What country do we live in?

Is it illegal to play "Christian" rock in NY State now?
Hell, maybe Klezmer music or any "ethnic" music with religious overtones should be black listed.

They should have just false advertised and called it "Muslim Skate" or "Gay Skate." Then the "Division of Human Right" (How Orwellian sounding is that?) wouldn't have blinked an eye.

I guess the state doesn't have a clue what the phrase "free exercise thereof" means or where it came from.

You mentioned the right theme. What nation do we live in?
This is ugly. There is simply no excuse for this whatsoever. This is a private business that chose one night to emphasise a religious theme. It's shocking to watch this seriously challenged.
James Car'vile' said it was 'Waaa'. He meant it.

There you go! Why not simply call Christian rock "ethnic music"?

Good grief, the commie-vampires are getting desperate, so they haven't sucked the lifeblood out of quite EVERYTHING good in this country??
Skating rinks are now what they hunger for?

There is no doubt in my mind the Division of Human Right would have no problem with the skating rink offering a "Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Skate" while playing the music of the Village People.

This should send chills up the spine.
Communism is alive and well, it lives with us in the US.
We MUST get ride of the ACLU - defund it. Make them spend their own money in their quest to destroy us.

The agency is investigating Len Bernardo and his wife Terry, owners of Skate Time 209 in Accord, New York, apparently because the rink plays Christian music during certain designated hours. Bump to read later
