Christianity Today - Air Force Academy Apologizes for Promoting Franklin Graham's Operation Christmas Child

Officials at the Air Force Academy have issued an apology to its cadets for an e-mail encouraging them to support Operation Christmas Child.

Last week, Academy cadets received an e-mail encouraging them to support the Christian-affiliated toy drive, which is sponsored by Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse. . . .

The controversy shows the cultural shift happening in the U.S., said Jordan Sekulow, executive director for the American Center for Law and Justice. “This is a perfect example of how heartless these groups are when it comes to defending their anti-religion position,” Sekulow told Fox News. “It’s not about the First Amendment. It’s about a real hatred of religious people and people of faith that they would go so far as to stop an assistance program like [Operation Christmas Child].”
