The ACLU would be pelted with dinner rolls in Bancroft immediately following the prayer.

That will be an interesting thing to take the SCOTUS. Will Kennedy come through?

It’s not a public school. Freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. Up the ACLU.

Isn’t the aCLU the same group of maggots who continually accuse President Bush of trying to take their rights, freedoms and liberties away? I don’t get it.

when I heard about this, I called my congresscritter and said they need to remove any funding to the ACLU. If taking our freedoms is their goal they can pay for it themselves but don’t take money from taxpayers to pay for taking away our freedoms.

I urge all of us to call our different Congressmen and urge all funds to be removed from the ACLU and other leftists organizations!

in fact the Gov. number 202-225-3121 is on speed dial on my phone. When I listen to the news I call whoever (Senators or House) thru that one number and tell them to wise up.

Cadets have the option to leave the academy if they want.

Did I miss the press release from the ACLU congratulating the majority of Supreme Court justices who upheld the 2nd amendment as specifying an individual right?

Oh, the Squids and Jarheads are going to give you a wedgie for that remark. At Annapolis, they're called Midshipmen. Cadets Attend West Point and the Zoo(US Air Force Academy.)

Tell that to the morons on this forum who plan to vote for Barr, and who laud the ACLU for their token support of a handful of conservative issues. Meanwhile on the substantive issues they choose Marx over Madison every time. Barr has helped raise millions for them, and given them cover with his support. For that he deserves to be pelted with eggs at every appearance.

From the article: "One recent academy graduate, an agnostic who objected to the chaplain-led prayer, said she felt pressured to participate in the prayer at lunch, where attendance is mandatory"

What are the odds on her being promoted to Admiral or General?

I don’t know about the others, but I know the zoo has a beautiful chapel on campus. When can we expect the ACLU to sue USAFA for so boldly and directly violating the “separation of church and state”?

The plebes are praying to get through afternoon PT, which is immediately after lunch.

What part of “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” in the First Amendment does the A-hole Criminal Liberals Union not get?
