The advertisement read: "Store closing sale – Cedar Springs Christian Store – Clinton Highway location – All merchandise, fixtures, slat walls must go. Sale through August 13, phone 865.947.XXX."
Mrs. McGinnis placed the ad on July 26. It was supposed to run on July 28. But when she opened up the newspaper – the ad was nowhere to be found.
So Mrs. McGinnis phoned the newspaper and spoke with a classified ad employee.
"She said our ad did not run because it contained an offensive word," she told me. "I asked what that offensive word was and she said the offensive word was 'Christian.'"

Again, the double standard. Trump at least supports religious liberty and says he’ll appoint justices who will, as well.
When folks like this become disciples of the Antichrist, don’t weep for them.
They have an agenda. They’ll get what they want.
For a short time.
“system failure” my azz
This is a blatant civil rights violation - discrimination based on religion.
When is the lawsuit going to begin?
This occurred in Knoxville, Tennessee
Just say “Religious store. The one with the bread and wine. Not the one with the goat leggings or the head loppings.”
FWIW, here is the publisher’s letter on this issue.
Sue the bastards for discrimination. Then bury them with First Amendments.
Nice letter. Guess they did the right thing.
I'm not a Christian. I'm Jewish. (reasonably observant too)ML/NJI just want to state that I have NEVER considered the word "Christian" in any way offensive or negative. On the contrary, Christians have been responsible for much of the beauty and greatness that is Western Civilization.
My problem is with anyone and every one who considers the word offensive.
Technical snafu. Sure.
The huge chain of Gannett-owned papers has a deserved reputation for being hostile to any ideas that disagree with its ultra-liberal ownership. I would never subscribe to or buy advertising in any Gannett paper. Sadly they went on a buying spree years ago and now frequently monopolize the newspaper market in many places, including mine. I won’t touch USA Today with a 10-foot pole.
Start organizing the churches.
They really need to take them to court
Notice how they still refuse to use the word Christian.
Once those shields came down, Christians we noted were quickly targeted for IN-tolerance, persecution, prejudice, and bigotry and sued by the ACLU and SPLC.
The End Game: Eventual extermination by the secular humanist pagans and their "My-Enemy-Of-My-Enemy-Is-My-Friend" allies -- which include Muslims, Marxists, Satanists, Atheists, etc.
NOT gonna end well. The resolution will come very soon.
Oh boy...such hate coming from those Christians!
John 15:18
John 16:33
Proverbs 29:27
1 John 3:1
Well said about diversity and tolerance being a giant hustle pull the wool over the eyes of Christians. It is now selectively applied in order to shut down only the Judeo-Christian influence in Western societies while every one else can come together in open-mindedness and tolerance and diversity in their world government common denominator of delusion all predicated on their hatred of Judeo-Christianity. It truly is a spiritual war just many refuse to see or believe it.
“Christian” is offensive but “Muslim” is just wonderful. This country is so in the toilet.
