Exposure to Christian Music Leads to Lawsuit
The Pacific Justice Institute defends a teenager:
In the summer of 2006, the 18-year-old counselor took four girls on an approved outing to the beach where there was a "Surf Jam" at a pier where several bands played. Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute, says one of the bands performed Christian music for about ten minutes while the youngsters had lunch.
"Consequently, this counselor was not just reprimanded," shares Dacus; "this counselor was in fact suspended for six weeks without pay simply and solely because some of those foster care children were exposed to some music that had some Christian lyrics."
And the other bands? "One of the other bands there had some outrageously immoral lyrics, and another band had some other lyrics that were very immoral," says the attorney.
Three questions:
1. How long? Before secularists begin arguing that using the law to defend Christians in court is a violation of that pretended absolute otherwise known as the separation of church and state? Mathematically speaking, and logically speaking, this seems only a matter of time plus sociological law tied to a "living" Constitution.
2. Was this suspension "insane and unjust"? Perhaps not if "sanity" means anything but the Creator in public, and "justice" means the safe and legal liquidation of followers of Jesus and Judeo-Christian thoughtforms from life in the city and joy on the beach. Worldviews have consequences.
3. Why resist? Because "you may not be interested in law and politics, but law and politics are interested in you" (to recast Marshall Berman). Return from Safeway and paying the bills, and your country could be out to sea. Pushback is the humane thing to do.
