Todd Beamer will always be remembered as a national hero.

national hero.

The flight was the only one that did not hit a target. Instead, it crashed in rural Pennsylvania.

"To the world they were ordinary [but] they figured out how to do extraordinary things. … to overcome the worst adversity I could ever imagine," Beamer's wife, Lisa, told Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America. Lisa Beamer, also 32, is expecting the couple's third child in January. Lisa Beamer says faith and family were always her husband's priorities.

"He's one of the few people that I just look up to," Caterson says. "Both of them are rock steady in the faith and grounded in the Word."

Gina maintains a 3.9 overall GPA and did very well on the first few philosophy class assignments, her grades in the philosophy course dropped significantly after the question of God’s existence and attributes became the focus of class discussion. Gina read the assigned materials and participated in class discussions, presenting traditional philosophical arguments on whether God exists and whether He possesses certain characteristics such as being all-knowing or all-good. However, Gina was unwilling to state that she would reconsider her personal religious beliefs on God’s nature and existence, and her grades suffered as a result.

Gina was posed with the difficult choice of either violating her religious beliefs by publicly declaring, “I am Gina. I am not free because I am determined” or being penalized by failing to receive extra points like her classmates.

Gina chose to adhere to her faith because she could not, in good conscience, make that statement.

DOS purports to confront the alleged systematic harassment and bullying of sexually confused students who consider themselves "GLBT." Naturally, where there is actual bullying, anywhere, anytime, for any reason, those responsible should be firmly disciplined. However, the reality is that DOS has very little to do with "bullying" and has everything to do with pro-homosexual, anti-Christian indoctrination.

Consider that during DOS, many kids who hold time-honored traditional values relative to sexual morality (i.e., that human sexuality is a gift from God to be shared between husband and wife within the bonds of marriage) are frequently and ironically tagged as "hateful," "bigoted," and "homophobic." (Who's doing the bullying?)

something extraordinary happened on the way to the brainwashing. Kids at schools all over the country stood tall and said, "Enough is enough!" Untold thousands of students participated in a peaceful, pro-family counter effort called the "Day of Silence Walkout."

Kellum notes public school officials have to understand that if they allow some students to publicly express their viewpoint on an issue, they must allow other students to voice differing opinions on the same topic.

One day after the pro-homosexual "Day of Silence" in 2007, administrators at Neuqua Valley, Illinois, High School ordered senior Heidi Zamecnik to cover the message "Be Happy, Not Gay" on her T-shirt -- although students had been allowed to wear T-shirts with messages celebrating homosexuality the previous day.

A federal appeals court is upholding a student's right to wear a T-shirt that promotes a Christian viewpoint on the issue of homosexuality.

Up and until this relief that we received from the court, Alex was not able to share the Christian viewpoint on this very important issue," he clarifies, "even though you had a whole day set aside -- called the 'Day of Silence' -- in which the school would actually support a message promoting homosexual behavior," Kellum admonishes

Religious free speech

, June 30, 1995

The University of Virginia misinterpreted the First Amendment and violated students' right to free speech when it denied funding to a Christian magazine, the Supreme Court decided Thursday in a 5-4 vote.

Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, in the majority opinion, said U.Va. created "a sweeping restriction on student thought and student inquiry" that "would risk fostering a pervasive bias or hostility to religion."

"We have crossed a critical threshold in the fight for religious liberty," said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice in Virginia Beach, which had filed briefs supporting both the student magazine and the KKK. "The message is clear: Religious speech or speakers must be treated exactly the same way as any other group."

Some religious groups hailed the ruling, together with another decision Thursday permitting the Ku Klux Klan to erect a cross at an Ohio park, for expanding opportunities for public expressions of faith.

His academic prowess and his family's income made him a perfect selection for Washington's Promise Scholarship, which goes annually to more than 6,000 of the state's brightest students who come from modest means. Indeed, the state awarded him $1,125 in 1999 for his freshman year at Northwest College, a Kirkland school affiliated with the Assembly of God denomination.

But not long into his first year, Davey's scholarship vanished. He had committed the one unpardonable sin that would disqualify him from state aid: He would major in pastoral ministries and intended to become a minister.

Now he may get his scholarship money and a religious degree after all. A federal appeals court yesterday sided with Davey, 22, saying that the state law violated his constitutional right to practice his religion.

Washington State schools to bus children to see Dalai Lama

But according to The Seattle Times, concerns have been raised over that particular gathering. The newspaper reports that Melissa Jones -- a Christian parent -- challenges the idea that a spiritual leader can "deliver a completely secular message," as the schools and organizers say the exiled leader will. Another parent, Becky Tilev, tells the Times it is unfair that the district tiptoes around her Christian faith, yet appears to have no problems busing students in to hear the leader of another religion. And she feels uncomfortable that the Dalai Lama will be introduced as "his holiness."

Hiram Sasser, the director of litigation with the Liberty Legal Institute, says there is no cause for concern -- at least legally. The attorney points out that U.S. Supreme Court rulings have made it clear that school buses and government buses can be used to transport children to religious education and activity.

Court rules majority student vote on funding can be biased

By ruling in favor of two students on the State University of New York Albany campus who filed suit, a federal appeals court has agreed that allocating mandatory funds from college student fees by referendum, or majority rule, treats some student groups unfairly.

Attorneys for Alliance Defense Fund, which served as counsel for Amidon and Barlow, say the decision also affirmed that the referendum process effectively excluded conservative, Christian, and other minority student groups from receiving funds other groups receive because it boils down to a "popularity contest."

Girls who've just barely become women — teen idols like Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton — are also, very often and publicly, barely dressed.

Call it "girls gone mild" — a building modesty movement among many young women.

The "modest fashion" these girls wear may not be to everyone's taste, but most looks are straight off the catwalk.

And it's big business, too. A modest design company Shade is pulling in $8 million a year. Shade clothing is the brainchild of two Mormon women looking to respect their faith without compromising their fashion sense.

"Sexiness isn't about letting everything hang out anymore," Waterman said. "This has nothing to do with figures and body types and what you look like. This is about decorum."

Public official to call for revamped policy on Christmas decorations in New York City

A city councilman from New York City is challenging that city's policy that allows and encourages Muslim, Jewish and secular decorations in public schools during Christmas, but does not permit Christian symbols. Councilman Tony Avella will unveil a resolution this weekend that would change public school policy regarding the display of Christmas decorations.

Perspectives: ArkALMIGHTY is afloat -- time to get on board

ArkAlmighty.com -- the brainchild of Jonathan Bock and the team at Grace Hill Media, working in conjunction with Universal -- is a great way to put the "service" back into your church service. The idea is a simple one. Create a boatload of free micro-websites, each individually administrated by a local church. The sites operate like a "Craig's List" for good deeds (we have to say "deeds" these days because "works" carries negative connotations in some circles, despite Matthew 5:16). Then people can post their needs on the site, and church members can find needs that match their skills. ArkALMIGHTY helps Christians to expand their view of Christian service to include things like teaching the son of a single mother how to bat or throw a baseball. The church can choose whether to restrict the "needs" list to members of their local body, or use the site as an outreach to their community.

clipper's remarks: The censoring of Christians by atheists or secular humanists IS religious discrimination!

Clip Source: www.afa.net

The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that prison officials erred because they “did not treat atheism as a ‘religion.’” “Atheism,” said the court, “is [the inmate’s] religion, and the group that he wanted to start was religious in nature even though it expressly rejects a belief in a supreme being.”

The Supreme Court has said that a religion need not be based on a belief in the existence of a supreme being. In the 1961 case of Torcaso v. Watkins, the Court described “secular humanism” as a religion.
