Former commandant to review religion at Air Force Academy
A retired Air Force general who once served as commandant of cadets at the Air Force Academy will assess the religious climate at the school, where allegations and court battles over religious tolerance have periodically flared for seven years.
Patrick Gamble, who retired as a four-star general in 2001 and is now president of the University of Alaska, was asked to take an "independent, subjective look at the overall climate at USAFA relating to free exercise of religion," the Air Force said in a statement Friday.
The Air Force said the review is not an investigation or inspection, and that no detailed report is expected....
"The problem at the school is not with any restriction on the free exercise of religion, but with unwanted proselytizing by fundamentalist Christians, a violation of the constitutional concept of the separation of church and state, he said."
Is there a "constitutional concept" in the Constitution?
"The problem at the school is not with any restriction on the free exercise of religion, but with unwanted proselytizing by fundamentalist Christians, a violation of the constitutional concept of the separation of church and state, he said."
"No proselytizing" allowed in the "state" of America???
I think it would quite Constitutional for equals in rank to proselytize for Christianity, but with rank being so important, and a natural desire for these men to move up the ranks; I could see where there could be problem with a higher ranking officer talking to lower ranking officers or men about it. However their is that duty to spread the Word, no matter what, Rendering To Caesar: A Biblical Perspective On Government.
