Alycia Barnard: Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Speech

Florida

ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

I believe that our great country has been created and expanded by the inclusion of many different cultures and many competing ideas, but it was based on the foundation of an inherent obligation to our Creator set out in part in the Ten Commandments.  It was, and is, a “live and let live” concept of government. In recent years, there has been a push towards an “approve of and empower my decisions/beliefs” with a view of changing and indoctrinating our citizens that, in my opinion, is unacceptable.  

Sharia Law is NOT superior to US law and should not be allowed where it conflicts with US law. My personal moral code is more stringent than US law, but I don’t expect to impose that rule on my neighborhood. I DO expect to be free to express my opinion if it complies with US law.  Any law considering prohibiting the teaching of any single word of the Bible is unacceptable and should be fought with all our might. 

The biggest problem with restricting any speech, no matter how objectionable it may be, is that when power shifts as it always does, your beliefs and opinions could be the next “objectionable” banned discussion.  We MUST defend and protect freedom and use laws and the enforcement of those laws to continue to protect our society.
