I wonder if President Adams will have the courage to address columnist Adams. My guess is no, but I will stay tuned -- I don't know anything about this cheerleading coach business. How could religious issues become a point of contention in cheerleading to such an extent?
Sure sounds like UGA has an *homo agenda*, doesn't it?
“One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool. “
I don't know who said the above quote, but it sure applies to modern day academia.
Yep!
That's what we've been saying for years up in Tennessee. :D
*Dodges flying objects*
How can we know if he ever responds?
I'm sure there's more to it than that, but that's my understanding.
Unreal.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- The University of Georgia Athletic Association has filed its response to a suit by fired former cheerleading coach Marilou Braswell.
The association says in a motion that the association fired Braswell based on her retaliation against a student -- NOT for her religious beliefts.
Association attorney Ed Tolley filed the motion to dismiss Braswell's federal civil rights lawsuit and a supporting brief Tuesday in U-S District Court in Atlanta.
The Athens Banner-Herald obtained a copy of the brief yesterday and says that Tolley contends Braswell canNOT prove the university infringed on her constitional rights when it fired her August 23rd.
She was fired two weeks after Braswell read a prepared statement informing cheerleaders that teammate Jaclyn Steele had made allegations of religious discrimination against her.
The 21-year-old Steele -- who is Jewish -- said the university's cheerling program has Christian overtones. She said her own non-participation in pre-game prayerser and Bible studies at Braswell's home made her feel like an outcast.
The association says it told Braswell NOT to discuss Steele's status with the other cheerleaders
save for later
It appears she took herself off the squad.
How's that UT girls' basketball team looking this year?
AFAIK, as good as ever. I'm in the wrong part of the world to get regular news, though.
As long as the beat UCONN, I'll be happy. :P

Okay, what I said is what I remember from reading a little paragraph about a month ago, in one of the Denver papers. Haven't been back to GA in a while.
Apparently a pervert to the end, as David was ill dying, a girl was fetched to "lie with him and keep him warm." (The author of scripture made it clear that David did not "have intercourse with her.") Ha, right.
The story of David depicts a man with dendecies of our our Klintoon.
Makes you wonder when it comes down to it...what is truth.
So Daniel had a homosexual relationship with a eunuch?

David appeared indifferent as his daughter was raped by her brother. David did not really discipline his rapist son.
David was "very wroth" when he heard about the rape of Tamar by Amnon. Under Old Testament law there were several technicalities concerning justice for rape. One involved whether the victim cried out or not. Also the implication in the text is that Amnon could have had Tamar given to him for a wife had he but asked the king.
Whatever punishment the king meted out was not disclosed, if any, but evidently it wasn't enough to suit Tamar's brother Absalom, who had Amnon slaughtered at a sheep-shearing festival. He had to flee, having killed a prince (even if it was his own brother). And the account says David "was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead." See 2 Samuel 13 for the story.
Apparently a pervert to the end, as David was ill dying, a girl was fetched to "lie with him and keep him warm." (The author of scripture made it clear that David did not "have intercourse with her.") Ha, right.
And the account there says that the aged king "gat no heat" (1 Kings 1:1), and that's why the maiden was fetched. That speaks of hypothyroidism, and if that is what it was, one of the symptoms is a diminished libido.
And besides, the only record of the incident -- a contemporaneous one -- says he didn't have intercourse with her. In the absence of any contradictory record or evidence, the contemporaneous account is the one to go with. Unless you just want to throw a hostile opinion out there.
The story of David depicts a man with dendecies of our our Klintoon.
David was a fallible, normal human. Yet he heartily acknowledged his own failures and faults before God, grieved over them, trusted God, and looked to Him for forgiveness (see Psalm 51), and obtained what are called "the sure mercies of David" (Isaiah 55:3).
Makes you wonder when it comes down to it...what is truth.
You can't do any better than the Bible. If you'll trust it.
Excellent post.
