Weinstein, Sekulow Debate at Academy
April 23, 2007 4:48 PM
Air Force Academy critic Mikey Weinstein will debate Evangelical Lawyer Jay Sekulow at the Academy tomorrow.
Wienstein, who is an academy graduate is the founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. He has sued the Academy over what he says is officially sanctioned proselytizing of non-Christian cadets. Last October a federal judge threw the suit out. Wienstein has promised to appeal.
Jay Sekulow is the Chief Counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, originally founded by Pat Robertson. The Christian Post Newspaper has named him one of the Ten most influential Kingmakers for the Republican party.
Sekulow and Weinstein will debate the appropriate balance between religious freedom and official neutrality in the military. The debate, which is open to the public, happens at 5:00 tomorrow afternoon in Arnold Hall at the Academy.
Because of limited parking and seating, those planning to attend should arrive no later than 4:30 p.m. The general public is encouraged to enter via the Academys North Entrance (I-25 Exit 156-B) and park at the Cadet Field House. Shuttle bus transportation will be provided to and from the debate venue.
