Charges Dropped In Hickory NC

July 27th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

According to a new announcement from the Christian Action League in NC the charges against the Boyd Brothers, who were arrested for sharing their faith one night in Hickory NC, were dropped! “Praise The Lord!”

While reading their news announcement I really had to think about a statement that one of the CLA attorneys made.

Unfortunately, attorneys at CLA said the situation in Hickory is not unique. Barbara Weller, who has worked on First Amendment cases for a dozen years, said that she spends much of her time educating city officials about Americans’ rights to speak about their religion on public streets.

“I think a lot of city attorneys and others in government are not doing something wrong on purpose. They just don’t really know that free speech rights are protected,” Weller said. “There is this idea somehow that Christianity isn’t allowed to be seen or heard in public.”

Don’t you think it’s sad that we have come to a point the we have to tell our local government about the law? I mean it goes to tell you that the old say is true, “If you tell the people a lie long enough they begin to believe it”. I feel that people have been told too many time there is a separation of “Church and State”, they really think you have no right to speak about your faith in public.
