Atheists file lawsuit against Bradley County Tenn. and Sheriff Eric Watson.

Sheriff Eric Watson.

They are asking a judge to stop Watson and his employees from proselytizing for Christianity on government social media and from censoring opposing viewpoints. Bradley County was included in the lawsuit because it funds most of the sheriff's budget, and because it did nothing to stop the First Amendment violations, the complaint states.

On his personal Facebook page he can say whatever he wants, censor whatever comments he wants and lets his religious whack job buddies post whatever they want.

When the page is under the name of the government office, he cannot do those things. Why is it so difficult for him to understand this?
