Is anyone else really ticked off about this "religious stuff" going

[a kennedy]

on at the Air Force Academy??? Or did I miss this topic some other place. I can not believe that this goes on there. I'm sure the academy is trying to kill off the rape mentality of the last few years, but come on, religion??? I can't believe this. :mad: :mad:

1. Don't believe the rise and domination of the tighty righties

at the air force academy is associated with prior crimes.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Air Force said Tuesday it will appoint a task force to investigate allegations of religious intolerance at the Air Force Academy.

Among the items to be reviewed will be Air Force policy and guidance concerning religious respect and tolerance at the academy, said acting Secretary of the Air Force Michael Dominguez.

Some 55 complaints of religious discrimination have been filed going back to 2001, prompting school officials to require that all 9,000 cadets and faculty and staff members take a 50-minute course on religious sensitivity, academy officials said.

In addition, a report last week by a Washington-based religious liberty group accused cadets and staff members of creating a climate that discriminated against non-Christians at the academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

she got into trouble for reporting fundamentalist pressure on cadets.
