Jeff Johnson - OneNewsNow - 5/12/2008 10:00:00 AM

Last July, several students at Vermont's Middlebury Union High School asked for official recognition for their Youth Alive club, a student-led Bible study group. School officials allowed the club to meet but denied it the privileges afforded to other student organizations because of Youth Alive's religious nature.

Dems' party rules 'created' Obama

Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 5/2/2008 8:30:00 AM

Obama-Clinton A political scientist is saying the Democratic Party's desire to appease Jesse Jackson is creating a situation that is splitting the party apart.

Dr. Charles W. Dunn, dean of the Robertson School of Government at Regent University, says the battle being waged by Senators Clinton (D-New York) and Obama (D-Illinois) for the support of super-delegates would not be happening right now if the Democrats had not changed to a system that requires proportional representation in the states during the primary process.

Pastor Jeremiah Wright is not backing down from his past sermons condemning America and accusing its policymakers of doing the bidding of the Ku Klux Klan. Instead Barack Obama's spiritual mentor is launching a massive public relations offensive.

Federal judge says no to in-school Bible giveaways

AP - 4/27/2008 5:55:00 AM

NEW ORLEANS -  A federal judge says Tangipahoa Parish public schools must stop in-school Bible giveaways to students. 

"Distribution of Bibles is a religious activity without a secular purpose" and amounts to school board promotion of Christianity, U.S. District Judge Carl J. Barbier ruled.

As requested by both sides, Barbier made a summary judgment based only on the written briefs - something judges may do only if the law is absolutely clear.

Sex-change therapies on children 'beyond the pale'

By Pete Chagnon 
OneNewsNow - 4/23/2008 9:00:00 AM

Children's Hospital Boston logoChildren's Hospital Boston, a world-renowned center for pediatric healthcare, is being criticized by a Massachusetts-based pro-family group for offering sex-change therapy to patients as young as ten years old.

The Boston Globe recently published an article on Dr. Norman Spack, who last year started a new clinic at Children's Hospital that, among other treatments, performs sex-change therapy on "transgendered" children. The Gender Management Service Clinic, as it is called, defines that group as "patients with no known anatomic or biochemical disorder who feel like a member of the opposite sex."

BRAVE NEW SCHOOLS

Student warned of 'failing grade' if absent from 'Day of Silence'
© 2008 WorldNetDaily

A coalition of Christian organizations is encouraging students to stay home when their schools recognize the "Day of Silence" homosexual-lifestyle promotion this year – and the reaction has started coming in.

Liberty Counsel reports it has had complaints from parents and students about a wide range of misbehaviors or misrepresentations presented by schools.

For example, in one school district a principal told a father if his son was not at school on the "Day of Silence," the student would be given a failing grade for the year. In Indiana, parents were told by public school officials it was "against the law" for them to cancel the program or excuse absences that day. And in Iowa, a school board member said a student refusing to speak throughout a school day was no more disruptive than a "Christian wearing a cross."

TV execs argue against 'a la carte' cable

Jeff Johnson - OneNewsNow - 4/22/2008 12:00:00 PM

choice smallExecutives from the companies that produce most U.S. television programs sent a letter to the FCC last week opposing any rule changes that would allow customers to pay only for the cable channels they want to watch.

 Federal Communications Commission chairman Kevin Martin has long been an advocate of "cable choice" or "a la carte" programming, which allows cable subscribers to decide which channels they want and to purchase them independently rather than purchasing bundles of channels under the current tier system. Recently, Martin proposed a rule that would allow cable companies to force networks out of the lowest-priced basic tier if they demand large rate increases for their programming.

Obama contends belief in Jesus Christ not necessary for salvation

AP - 3/27/2008 8:00:00 AM

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Senator Barack Obama has told an audience that although he believes Christ died for his sins, those who reject that teaching can also be children of God.

Barack ObamaDuring a campaign stop yesterday in Greensboro, North Carolina, Senator Obama told the audience that he believes he "can have everlasting life" because Jesus Christ died for his sins. But he then told a questioner that he believes Jews and Muslims who live moral lives are just as much "children of God" as he is. (listen to audio clip)
