Has America Declared War on Christianity? (Part 3 of 3)

This week’s 3-part blog postings are attributed to Dr. Michael Brown – host of the nationally syndicated ‘Line of Fire’ radio program.  Throughout this week, you’ll read of the increased hostility toward Christian values and religious freedoms in our country.  Dr. Brown provides representative examples … all from the month of April.  Read them, and judge for yourself.  [The first five examples were published in the May 16 & 18 blog postings.]

6. The Department of Education has decided that, “Religious schools that receive federal money yet obtain federal exemptions to [allegedly!] discriminate against LGBT students and employees will have their waivers posted online for public view.”  This means that any Christian institution receiving federal money and at the same time holding to Biblical morality and sexuality could suffer adverse consequences.  Led by Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, the lawmakers said in December, “We are concerned these waivers allow for discrimination under the guise of religious freedom.”  Oh, those terrible religious freedoms!

7. As reported on Breitbart News, “a federal court sided with a transgender student who insisted that the Obama Administration’s reading of federal Title IX rules would allow her to choose her own bathroom at her Virginia high school.”  According to the exultant Virginia ACLU, “With this decision, we hope that schools and legislators will finally get the message that excluding transgender kids from the restrooms is unlawful sex discrimination.”  In other words, no matter of what kind of hardship or inconvenience this puts on the rest of the students, and without any type of scientific proof that a child is actually “transgender,” the perceived needs of the one or two struggling children will be imposed on the other 1,000; and the Obama Administration will come after your school if you fail to comply.

Believers in America’s Judeo-Christian heritage and values: If somehow you are still sleeping after reading this week’s postings, it is high time you woke up.
