Minnesota Christians have won a victory for religious rights. A
federal court ruled Aug. 10 that the state Department of
Corrections was wrong to discipline employees who read Bibles in
silent protest during a training session on homosexuality in the
workplace, Reuters said. "There was never any reason for our
clients to be forced to listen to state-sponsored indoctrination
about the acceptability of the homosexual lifestyle," attorney
Francis Manion of the American Center for Law and Justice (see
link #1 below) said. The court ordered that written reprimands
given to the employees be withdrawn. "This is a major victory for
the rights of religious believers who are singled out and
punished for their religious beliefs," Manion said.
