New Review of Religious Tolerance At Air Force Academy To Be Undertaken

By Howard M. Friedman

AP reported yesterday that a retired Air Force general will conduct a review of the religious climate at the U.S. Air Force Academy . The Academy has been at the center of charges of religious intolerance for the past seven years. General Patrick K. Gamble, now president of the University of Alaska, will assemble a team of five or six members to take an "independent, subjective look at the overall climate at USAFA relating to free exercise of religion." The review is designed to evaluate various initiatives undertaken since 2004 that were designed to improve religious tolerance. A lengthy report on issues of religious tolerance at the Academy was issued in 2005. (See prior posting.)
