Suppressing freedom of expression in America



The American Family Association (AFA) produced a broadcast quality, one hour documentary entitled "Speechless: Silencing the Christians." It is a critically important exposé about the radical homosexual agenda and a Christian response to it. Unfortunately, the program's title is proving to be too accurate. I received at email from the AFA that stated, in part:

"Dear Mark - Two TV stations, WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids, MI and WSYX-TV in Columbus, OH, have banned a television special showing how the media is silencing Christians. The stations bowed down to the demands of a handful of homosexual activists and banned the showing of our TV special "Speechless...Silencing the Christians." The one-hour TV special was scheduled to be shown on the stations, but the stations yanked the program after agreeing to run it. AFA was paying for the time."


CANADA & SUPPRESSION OF SPEECH

I tool particular note that at 30 minutes into the documentary, the AFA highlighted Canadian human rights commission's thought police, and particularly the Alberta's Human Rights Commission in it's vilification and persecution of Pastor Stephen Boisson. Pastor Boisson dared exercise his rights of "freedom of conscience and religion" and his "freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression,"[1] -- and wrote a letter to the editor of his local newspaper in which he spoke against the homosexual agenda.

A WARNING TO AMERICA

The American Family Association rightly used this Canadian case to warn Americans about the oppressive nature of so-called "hate laws."

I suspect the censoring of "Speechless: Silencing the Christians" in Columbus and Grand Rapids will be repeated with other mainstream television stations across the U.S., in an attempt to silence Christian views.
