A lawmaker in Colorado who challenged the authors of SB200, a new law that bans discrimination based on the "perception" of gender, contends it was written to give a wide open door to anyone who wants to banish Christian beliefs or the Bible.

"Section 8 of Senate Bill 200 is a wide open door for any judge to censor anything that condemns homosexuality, including Scripture," Lundberg said at the news conference. "I do believe that the Bible is banned, under the plain language of this new statute," said Steve Crampton, general counsel of Liberty Counsel.

After one is homeschooled for 12 years, enrolling at Rice takes a little adjusting. For Owls golfer Michael Whitehead, the transition to college actually went smoothly. Just like his swing.

"It wasn't that bad adjusting to classes or anything. Because as far as that goes, you go to class for an hour, then you do the rest of the work on your own. Which is like home school. You have to basically teach yourself everything out of a book. As far as the classwork, yeah, it was hard. It's Rice."

It takes a lot to shock me anymore, but indeed, shock is what registered when I listened to talk show host, Michael Reagan, on June 10, 2008: "...We ought to find the people who are doing this, take them out and shoot them. Really..."

One thing I find astounding is the absolute black out of ANY media coverage on Reagan's death threats and solicitation of murder. Not a single word has been said about Michael Reagan's call to kill Americans from any "mainstream" media source. Where is the condemnation?
