The rights of Christians are under attack

To the Editor:

The rights of Christians are under attack again. Consider what just recently happened.

In New Jersey, East Brunswick High School told football coach Marcus Borden he cannot kneel and bow his head while members of his team have a student-led pre-game prayer. In Wisconsin's Tomah Area District, a teacher refused to give a student identified only as A.T. a grade because some of his work included John 3:16 as well a sign of love was mentioned. However Buddha, Hindu and sorcerers are approved forms of art by the school. I repeat, Buddha, Hindu and sorcerers are approved. Really? Also, in Mount Vernon, Ohio, a teacher by the name of John Freshwater has had a Bible on his desk for 18 years and now he has been told to remove it and he has refused.

Our religious freedoms are being taken away, mainly because Christians have not taken a stand. We are supposed to remain silent while all other religions are accepted in the name of tolerance.

Numerous polls show that more than 80 percent of all Americans are Christian, so why do we accept this? We are heading to a secular society if we continue down this path.
