“Underground” Group of Cadets Say Air Force Academy Controlled by Evangelicals

Thursday 30 September 2010

Mike Ludwig, Truthout: “An anonymous cadet at the US Air Force Academy (USAFA) spoke out against alleged religious discrimination at the school last week, saying that some cadets must pretend to be evangelical Christians in order to maintain standing among their peers and superiors. In an email to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), the whistleblower stated that he is part of an ‘underground group’ of about 100 cadets who cannot rely on proper channels to confront evangelical pressure. The email, published by Veterans Today, applauds the MRFF from the ‘underground’ and indicates that the academy is ‘literally overrun with Christian conservative fanatics.’”
