Don Wagner, a member of the Board of Trustees of the South Orange County Community College District is being sued by Leftist atheists (sorry about being redundant).
Why?
"Not long before the Christmas Holidays, a group of leftist community college professors and a couple of anonymous students, working with lawyers from the atheist group Americans United for Separation of Church and State, filed a federal lawsuit against the South Orange County Community College District and several members of its Board of Trustees, including me. The gist of their complaint was that a speech I gave in support of religious freedom, a joke another trustee told based on the Biblical story of Jonah and the Whale, a patriotic slide show with a single mention of Jesus, and the college district's practice of opening commencement ceremonies, awards ceremonies, and other events with prayer, all violated the U.S. and California Constitutions. "
Now you know why tax dollars for education is limited--money meant for the classroom must be spent to defend the First Amendment instead.
Hopefully, those who brought this suit who be sued and forced to return the cost of litigation to the students.
Congratulations to Don Wagner--standing up for Constitutional government. Obviously he takes his oath of office seriously.
