I don’t know who needs to hear it, but the top brass of the Idaho Army National Guard need to be cashiered out of the service after being caught saying Christians are not allowed to be promoted to officer ranks.

The Liberty Counsel has filed a lawsuit against the military branch, but lawsuit or no, Governor Brad Little — a putative Republican — needs to start firing his top Army officers for this.

According to a Liberty Counsel press release:

Liberty Counsel filed a lawsuit on behalf of an Idaho Army National Guard infantry officer against Governor Brad Little and two army generals for unlawfully removing the officer from command solely due to his personal Christian expression on biblical sexuality made outside of the military environment. An investigation into the officer, which revealed no wrongdoing, nevertheless recommended a policy to monitor potential candidates for command for any “concerning ideologies” as a way of “rooting out” any “extremism” in the ranks. In this case, the decision to remove him from command on this basis shows that his superiors believe his Bible-centered beliefs on sexuality to be concerning and essentially puts an unconstitutional “No Christians in Command” policy into action.

The case centers around Major David Worley who ran for Mayor of Pocatello on a conservative platform. At one point he spoke out against transgenderism and that spurred a gay service member to file a grievance with army brass. That, in turn caused Guard leadership to rule that practicing Christians would not be allowed to attain rank because they were bigots.

The lawsuit alleges that Guard leadership “recommended that all candidates for command be scrutinized to ensure that their Christian beliefs, views, or expression are discovered prior to be given command and reported to the Department of Defense for investigation of concerning extremist activity.” The brass also “recommended that there be No Christians in Command in the Idaho Army National Guard because of their ‘concerning ideologies.'”

Consequently, Guard leadership then busted Major Worley down and out of his position.

Again, where is Gov. Little on this? Why is he doing nothing?
