US Reps Discuss Military Religious Freedom During Air Force Budget Hearing

Written by Don Byrd
A church-state kerfuffle erupted last week as reports went viral claiming an Air Force cadet was forced to remove a Christian message from the hallway white board outside his room after religious freedom gadfly Mikey Weinstein reported complaints from other cadets to military officials. Dispute over just what happened and the extent of cadets’ religious freedom traveled quickly through conservative religious outlets and didn’t take long to reach Washington.

The Washington Post reports that in a House hearing about the Air Force budget Friday, the Secretary was confronted about the incident.
