Dad sues Air Force Academy, claims faith bias

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A Jewish father of two Air Force Academy cadets sued the Air Force on Thursday, claiming officers and cadets illegally imposed Christianity on others.

The lawsuit was filed in federal court by Mikey Weinstein, an academy grad and outspoken critic of the school's handling of religion.

Over the past decade or more, the lawsuit claims, academy leaders have fostered an environment of religious intolerance at the Colorado school.

Weinstein claims that evangelical Christians at the school have coerced attendance at religious services. ''It's a shocking disgrace that I had to file this thing,'' he said.
