The issue arose in June 2024, when Chapin resident Ernest Giardino held up a 20- by 24-inch sign with the words “Trust Christ He paid the price” on one side and “He Saved Others—Jesus—He’ll Save You” on the other.

“I love my career and the people I serve with a passion, but I’m not going to sell my soul for it,” the counselor wrote, without tagging his employer. “While places I work might be a ‘safe and affirming space for lqbtqia+ community,’ I personally (and professionally) never want to affirm rebellion against our Creator. What good does it do if we gain the whole world if we lose our own soul? I’ve recently watched previously sold Christians sell out on this issue. Count me out. I’m His, and sticking to His Word.”

“This is a great victory for Child Evangelism Fellowship, parents, and the students in Oakland public schools. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that public schools cannot discriminate against Christian viewpoints regarding use of school facilities. Child Evangelism Fellowship gives children a Biblically based education that includes moral and character development. Good News Clubs should be in every public elementary school.”

Commonsense is back, with biological boys and girls in their own locker rooms and bathrooms, and boys out of girls’ sports.”
“All employees have the right to earn a living free from discrimination based on their religious beliefs,” Lucas said. “While employers must remain alert to potential harassment in the workplace, religious statements made outside of work that do not reference or impact anyone in the workplace do not constitute unlawful harassment.”
“The City has no legitimate, much less compelling, interest to justify banishing inconspicuous, one-on-one and small group conversations to a secluded zone simply because the presence of those conversations might make some guests ‘uncomfortable,’” the letter argues. “Nor can the forced removal qualify as the least restrictive means for addressing appropriate concerns.”

Today, free speech has prevailed.”
“The Court does not accept the Board’s characterizations of the ‘LGBTQ+-inclusive’ instruction as mere ‘exposure to objectionable ideas’ or as lessons in ‘mutual respect.’ The storybooks unmistakably convey a particular viewpoint about same-sex marriage and gender.
