Town curbs prayers

The crushing of religious sentiment continues

Yet more fallout from the 4th Circuit Court decision, from those emboldened by the ACLU’s attack on Reverend Turner:

Attorney Mike Sharman called the town’s position ‘prior restraint’ and an expression of ‘hostility to Christianity.’ Although the 4th Circuit includes Virginia, he said none of the cases cited in the town’s memo is applicable in the commonwealth.

‘Nobody has ever ruled against what you are doing here right now,’ Sharman said. ‘[Religious freedoms] were won by inches. You’re giving up miles.’

Mr. Sharman is right. Thankfully, the Culpeper County Magisterial Association isn’t giving in. A final decision will be handed down by the association this month.
