Yes, the same Academy whose recent history included a pattern of sexual harassment and rape.

It's easy for those of us who are not Christians to assume that the warped militaristic and misogynistic loudmouths are speaking for all Christians. They certainly pretend they speak for all the Christians that count.

Increasingly, thanks to people of good faith like Dr. Bruce Prescott, they are not doing so unchallenged.

Writing in the linked article, he says:

In this writer’s opinion, most of the serious complaints at the Academy were “explained away” as a lack of specificity in direction and guidance from Air Force Command on church/state issues. Many of the Task Force’s recommendations were requests for such guidance. Under the current administration, the value of such guidance is questionable. The Lutheran Magazine cites concerns about further infringement by Robert Tuttle who teaches law at George Washington University. He said, “In rules that started to come out last summer, the Bush administration began to say that the ordinary [proselytizing] restrictions don’t apply to those under significant control by the government—those in prisons, the military, long-term care facilities, etc.,” he said. “This raises real concerns about government coercion through religion.”
