Last week Breitbart.com<\/a> posted an article about the Justice Department<\/a>‘s decision to defund two you programs because of references to God.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Julian Whittington, the sheriff of Bossier Parish, LA<\/a>, told Fox News<\/a> that Obama<\/a>‘s Justice Office of Civil Rights de-funded the Young Marines<\/a> chapter and another youth program<\/a> over mentions of religion<\/a>. In the case of the Young Marine program, chartered in 1965, the funding was cut off because the group features an oath that mentions “God.” In the other case, it was because a program for at-risk youth featured a voluntary, student-led prayer session as one of its activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Doesn’t the U. S. Congress<\/a> have a chaplain? Why in the world is this worth the time and energy of the Civil Rights office?<\/p>\n

The article quotes\u00a0Representative John Fleming (R-LA) :<\/p>\n

“There is a very wide effort coming out of the administration that seeks to stamp out freedom of expressions \u2013 particularly religion and especially freedom of Christian<\/a> expression,” Fleming said. “They are willing to throw the youth overboard and remove the funding just in the name of making this an atheist, agnostic, secular organization.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“They (DOJ) don\u2019t want anything to have any sort of religious support \u2013 even down to prayer,” Fleming said. “It\u2019s sad and it\u2019s inconsistent with the intentions of the framers of the Constitution<\/a>.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

We need to elect people who understand the U. S. Constitution and the history of America so that they can appoint people to various government positions who share their knowledge and views.<\/p>\n
