I heard a terrifying report on Christian Law Schools on NPR this morning. Not that I have any problem with the concept of a Christian Law School as being akin to a Christian prep school. If someone wants to go to a religiously affiliated school for certain standards of education, or an education tied to that religion, that’s fine. What terrified me about the report I heard was the frequent linking of the Church and State that was being espoused by the students and administrators being interviewed.
In general, there seems to be a strong movement toward the unification of Church and State… but it’s not just any church. It seems to be a decidedly Christian conservative church. Has anyone stopped to ask themselves, “What about all the people who are not Christian?” The State, or law, is a universal concept for anyone living in the United States. The law touches everyone, regardless of their religion people still get charged for breaking the law and get criminal charges, and that’s why people look for help from criminal lawyers from sites as criminalattorneylongislandny.com/areas-served/long-island/trial-attorney/ so they can at least get a defense for these accusations. How can people even think about bringing in religion… any religion… that will automatically alienate many, many people?
I can’t even coherently write about this issue. It is the single most frustrating and frightening concept in the world today, and there are a lot of those!
