MRFF's RESPONSE TO AIR FORCE ACADEMY AGAIN ELEVATING JESUS AND PUSHING CHRISTIAN EXCLUSIVITY WHILE TRASHING JEWISH MILITARY CADETS MRFF Founder and President Mikey Weinstein's excerpt from his Op-Ed below: "USAFA’s ongoing, dismal record on unconstitutional, church-state separation violations in support of fundamentalist Christianity is long and egregious. But would such an important military training event have been permitted were it to have been scheduled on, say, Easter? Never!"

MRFF OP-ED ON DAILY KOS #4 Trending Story on Daily Kos Air Force Academy Again Elevates Jesus and Trashes Jews By: MRFF President and Founder Mikey Weinstein Tuesday, October 4, 2022

Once again, “your” United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) has shown its truly outrageous, fundamentalist Christian colors. By scheduling the most important Academy military training event of the semester on Yom Kippur, they’ve made it very clear that they fully endorse and embrace the Orwellian position that, while all faiths are equal, some are just more equal than others.   Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the most solemn day of the Jewish calendar (the weekly Sabbath is the holiest). Its date of annual observance is (1) fixed by the lunisolar calendar and, (2) can be easily determined years in advance. The “Commandant’s Training Day”, by contrast, is neither.     USAFA has enormous flexibility in choosing when to hold military training events and does so several months in advance. Professed ignorance (willful or otherwise) of the Jewish or any other religious calendar is simply no excuse. In this case, all anyone had to do was to Google “Yom Kippur 2022”, and the dates would have happily popped up on pretty much any computer screen on this planet.     Was this just too challenging a task for a place that constantly holds itself out as an elite institution of higher learning, studying the art of flying and the physics of space, both of which involve intensive knowledge of and adeptness in computer skills? No!   [...]

USAFA's Wall of Shame

MRFF supporter Rabbi Joel Schwartzman responds to Rep.

I merely commented about the pain of being left out. The act of this man is clearly more pernicious because it impacts the future of potential military officers. The man deserves all the opprobrium we can heap on him.
