Colleges called to removed Unconstitutional chaplains

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2015/08/21/why-25-public-universities-have-been-asked-to-drop-their-college-football-chaplains/

The FFRF singled out Georgia as “one of the major offenders.”


Not surprising I am from Georgia and Mark Richt is a huge religious zealot. In fact most of the schools mentioned are in the South again not a surprise.

Coaches were using their authority and power to proselytize their religion. They also used schools funds and facilities to pay for the services and cost of these chaplains. In FFRF report some student athletes felt coerced and feared speaking out would hurt their chances for making the team and perhaps falling out of favor with the coaches. Arian Foster who recently came out as secular described how he was denied opting out of the "voluntary" team building exercise at Sunday church services.

Here is a link to full FFRF report

I received a 2016 Presidential Platform Survey From the repuke party

I dont know why. Here is excerpt:

Enclosed is a "special" questionnaire - Registered to your name and address - identifying you as A DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE of VOTERS residing in your district.

In big red red letters it says "IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUESTED -- DO NOT DESTROY" LMAO like I am going to listen to that.

Here are some of the best things on it

Are you in favor of raising the minimum wage despite estimates from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that it could cause businesses to eliminate as many as 500,000 jobs? What a loaded question

Do you believe that reducing the federal corporate tax rate, now one of the highest in the world, will help stimulate job creation and economic growth? Which world are we talking about is this true the non existent in a Republicon bubble.

Do you believe Congress should demand the increases in federal debt ceiling for borrowing be offsest with equal reductions to federal spending? Not even what the raising the Debt ceiling does
