The Patriot Post® · Air Force Academy Does It Again

Cadets at the AFA traditionally post personal information on their barrack doors. For some students, that includes some expressions of their faith. This week, a student was required to remove a Bible verse posted on his door’s white board, because the head of an atheist organization issued a complaint. According to Fox News, Lt. Col. Brus Vidal said, “The whiteboards are for both official and personal use, but when a concern was raised we addressed it and the comment was taken down.” You may recall, Mark Alexander first reported the AFA’s unlawful removal of the words “So Help Me God” from the Officer, Enlisted and Cadet oaths in its official AFA handbook. That violation of both civilian and military law is now the subject of an internal Air Force investigation prompted by a Freedom of Information Request to determine who altered the oaths.

As for Cadet door white board, Alexander has an alternative suggestion: “IN GOD WE TRUST”
