Colorado Schools: Satanic, Atheist Books Provided

The Delta County School District has agreed to allow materials from the Western Colorado Atheists and Freethinkers and the Satanic Temple to be available for distribution to middle and high school students on April Fool's Day after the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) complained that Gideon Bibles were previously made available to students.
“[Our school] policy says we cannot discriminate what is handed out. We just have to follow the process.”
-- Kurt Clay, Assistant Superintendent

-- From "Satanic Pamphlets Soon Available In Delta County Schools" by Jake Ryan, KVNF-FM90.9 National Public Radio (Paonia, CO) 3/24/16

A district policy allows for the display of pamphlets about programs not related to school such as Boy Scouts or a 4-H. The district is now under fire for that policy because it also allows for Bibles and Satanic coloring books.

The rule permits any material to be made available to their students, as long as it doesn’t cross certain lines. Gideon's International recently set out free Bibles for students to take home. . . .

Assistant Superintendent Kurt Clay says there’s a lot of discussion in the district about this. He points out that no material is allowed to be handed out, only made available.

They’ve also been consulting their legal counsel about changing the policy. He doesn’t want to ban all material because it would prevent rural students from finding out about afterschool programs and sports teams. They’re still unsure if they can legally make a rule against just religious material.

From "Atheist Group to Distribute Satanic Books at Colorado Schools" by Michael Gryboski, Christian Post Reporter 3/24/16

Candi Cushman, education analyst at the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family, told The Christian Post that she felt "common-sense standards of decency should apply to these."

"From the images displayed on recent television reports on this story, it appears that some of the materials may be disparaging of other religious viewpoints and even lewd in their depictions," said Cushman.

Cushman of FOTF also told CP that it "is commendable that the school is making an effort to avoid unconstitutional discrimination in a public forum against a group simply because of its faith-based perspective."

"It would be unfortunate to let intimidation from groups — with an apparent agenda of shutting a public forum down — to succeed in censorship for all."

Colo. Thousands March on Abortionist, Media Ignore

The media entirely missed about 2,000 Catholics quietly surrounding Planned Parenthood in Stapleton, Colorado ten days ago with Denver Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila leading a Eucharistic procession seven times around the murderous clinic praying for mothers, unborn children, and people who work there.
“Silence is an essential part of the procession as we unite our voices with those who have been silenced by abortion.”

The many enthusiastic pro-lifers who joined the procession began to pour into the street as the event began, according to the report. Karna Swanson, communications director for the archdiocese, said the turn-out was much larger than they expected.

“We were honestly expecting 500-800 people,” Swanson said. “Three times that number showed up. This provided a bit of a challenge for us logistically, as 1,800 people don’t exactly fit on the sidewalk of a city block.”

Swanson continued, “We wanted to make sure everyone who wanted to participate could, but we also didn’t want to give any reason for the police department to shut the event down.” Fortunately, local off-duty police were there to ensure the crowd didn’t impede traffic, according to the report.

“It was truly a moment of grace, a moment of blessing, a moment of praying to our Lord that hearts may be changed,” Archbishop Aquila said. “It was wonderful to see how many turned out today.”

To ensure the sacred nature of the Eucharistic procession, the archdiocesan liturgy office set the tone for the event and organized the logistics of the transferring the Eucharist to the site, in addition to providing prayer books for those in attendance.

Seminarians from St. John Vianney Theological Seminary led the people in the hymns and prayers each time the procession passed around the building. They also assisted with crowd management.

Families with young children were well-represented in the crowd, as well as religious sisters. The Nashville Dominicans, the Sisters of Life and the Missionary Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo were all present. Dozens of seminarians were on hand from both of the seminaries of Denver, as well as many members of the clergy.

Air Force Academy Funds Witchcraft, Wicca Worship

The watchdog organization Judicial Watch just released documents revealing the Air Force Academy used a chapel fund in 2014 to underwrite attendance at a pagan earth worship festival where cadets were taught to “dance with ecstasy around the maypole,” “drum with the heartbeat of Mother Earth,” and “conjure Springtime within nature and yourself.”
“The Air Force Academy leadership is attacking traditional Christian beliefs but will fund witchcraft and ‘faery magick’?  These records show the misplaced priorities in the Air Force and why traditional Christians increasingly feel unwelcome in the Air Force Academy.”

-- From "Air Force Academy Pays for Cadets’ Travel to Pagan Festivals" by Bill McMorris, The Washington Free Beacon 2/25/16

The academy’s chapel funds spent hundreds of dollars to send four cadets to the annual Denver Witches Ball, the city’s “Premier Pagan Halloween Masquerade Ball,” as well as two cadets’ participation in the Beltania Festival. The festival is an annual Colorado earth worship gathering that welcomes pagans of all stripes, including “Wicca, Witchcraft, Faery Magick, Druidism, Heathenism, Native American traditions, Voodoo, African Orishas, and Goddess Spirituality.” Attendees gather to run ribbons around a pole.

The event has played host to cadets for the last several years. Organizers advertised a brand new ceremony honoring servicemen in 2014 and touted the presence of “two representatives” from the academy’s pagan clubs.

Chapel fund money was also used to pay for four cadets to attend the 2014 Denver Witches Ball, according to Judicial Watch.

Judicial Watch obtained the documents through an October freedom of information request into earth worship activities on campus. . . .

From "Air Force Academy Sends Cadets To Wiccan Festival With ‘Chapel Funds’" by Rachel Stoltzfoos, Reporter, Daily Caller 2/24/16

A group called “Spiritual Programs in Religious Education” hosted events at an area of the Air Force Academy designated for worship in traditions that include “Wicca, Paganism and Druidism,” reported Judicial Watch. The Academy took $260 from the Academy’s “Church Tithes and Offerings Fund” to pay a vendor called “Living Earth” that hosted a Wiccan festival on campus in March, 2014.

The “Spiritual Programs in Religious Education” group that hosted events on campus encouraged people to engage in Wicca, witchcraft, Faery Magick and voodoo, according to a brochure obtained by the Freedom of Information Act documents requested by Judicial Watch.

The Tithes and Offering Fund, though funded by "free-will donations," is also defined as "an instrumentality of the United States Government."

According to a promotional brochure obtained by Judicial Watch, a group called "Spiritual Programs in Religious Education" hosted events at the Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel Falcon Circle on the Academy campus. The Academy website describes Falcon Circle as "The worship area [for]… an umbrella of traditions that includes Wicca, Paganism and Druidism."

The Air Force Academy documents were obtained in response to an October 8, 2015, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for:

Any and all records regarding, concerning or relating to "Earth-based" worship service events occurring at the [Air Force Academy] campus in the 2013/14 academic years, including but not limited to, programs, hand-outs, proposals, agreements, contracts, invoices, budget documents, and related materials.

Air Force Rejects Atheists' Demands Against Prayer

Mikey Weinstein, president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), made another of his obligatory complaints, this time about the Air Force Academy football Falcons' tradition of kneeling in the end zone for prayer.  In response, the Air Force "found the football players’ actions to be consistent with Air Force Instruction 1-1 and its guidance on the free exercise of religion and religious accommodation."  So now, the MRFF is considering action to seek an injunction in federal court.

“This end zone praying is just another territorial conquest of the religious Christian right,” MRFF founder and president Mikey Weinstein said. “This stands in a long line of conservative Christian acts like this.”

Because of the complaint, the academy is conducting a review of the situation.

“The Air Force Academy Inspector General opened a third-party complaint and referred the issue to the athletic department for an informal inquiry,” an Air Force spokesperson said in an email.

The players are not being required, compelled or forced to pray by any program or academy official. Rather, according to the academy’s official stance, they do it of their own volition.

From "Prayer allowed at USAFA games" by Pam Zubeck, Colorado Springs Independent 12/28/15

The U.S. Air Force Academy has ruled football players' prayers in the end zone at games is allowed under its rule dictating religious practice and observance.

Here's the academy's ruling:
The United States Air Force Academy places a high value on the rights of its members to observe the tenets of their respective religion or to observe no religion at all. Recently the United States Air Force Academy received a complaint about its football players kneeling in prayer. An inquiry was initiated, which found the football player's actions to be consistent with Air Force Instruction 1-1 and its guidance on the free exercise of religion and religious accommodation. The United States Air Force Academy will continue to reaffirm to cadets that all Airmen are free to practice the religion of their choice or subscribe to no religious belief at all. The players may confidently practice their own beliefs without pressure to participate in the practices of others.

From "[MRFF] Foundation is on the wrong side of history and the law" by Michael Berry, Esq., Liberty Institute (posted at Colorado Springs Gazette) 12/27/15

For years, football players at the Air Force Academy have knelt in the end zone and prayed before each game. Their voluntary, personal prayers, which cannot be heard by spectators, are a private act of devotion that should be respected. . . .

To its credit, the Air Force Academy has not resorted to the sort of knee-jerk response Weinstein seeks. Instead of issuing a unilateral ban on prayer, as MRFF requested, the academy wisely referred the matter to the proper legal entities for review.

The Constitution, federal case law and military regulations all protect the right of service members to freely exercise their religious beliefs or no belief at all. This includes religious expression, while on duty and in uniform, such as prayer before a football game.

Child Porn Self-produced by Hundreds: Colo. School

Cañon City (Colorado) High School administrators, cooperating with the criminal sexting investigation of local police, say that as much as half of the entire student body participated in the production and distribution of child pornography of themselves and their classmates, perhaps including some eighth graders.  The combination of today's electronic marvels and the sexual revolution has created a legal morass wherein the children are both the victims and perpetrators of their own sexual predatory crimes — class 3 felony offenses requiring registration as a sex offender.
"The scope is large, and we have secured in evidence hundreds of images of students. . . . It's going on everywhere, my suspicion is, with modern technology."

-- From "Canon City School District sexting investigation involves hundreds of photos, officials say" by The Associated press 11/6/15

The Canon City Daily Records reports that at a community meeting Thursday, District Superintendent George Welsh said that sexting between students is a nationwide issue, and that the district has had isolated incidents before, but nothing compared to the scale of the current investigation.

Officials say it is unclear how many people are involved in the taking and distributing of nude photographs or how long it has been occurring in the district.

Officials say many students who engage in risque behavior over text use applications to hide the photos on their phone [including Private Photo Vault], making discovery by parents or other authority figures more difficult.

On Wednesday, the district said several Cañon City High football players have been connected to the alleged activity and canceled this weekend's football game. The case has been handed over to Cañon City police.

At the parent meeting, the district attorney's office told parents it will make "reasonable decisions" about how to move forward. The school district said Wednesday that student reports and anonymous tips [via the Colorado Safe2Tell program] alerted administrators to the alleged student misconduct.

"I'm certainly not daunted," Fremont County District Attorney Tom LeDoux told the Gazette, speaking of the prospect of prosecuting unknown numbers of students.

From "'Several hundred victims and people' could have been involved in Cañon City nude photo exchange" by Ryan Maye Handy, Colorado Springs Gazette 11/6/15


While investigators have uncovered hundreds of photos, they do not know how many students are involved, although Cañon City Police Chief Paul Schultz told parents that "several hundred victims and people" could have been involved in the photo exchange.

Cañon City is hardly the only school to deal with sexting, but the scope of the investigation could involved a large chunk of the school's 1,000-student population. [Supt.] Welsh repeatedly told parents that he suspects schools around country are grappling with the issue of how to deal with students who clandestinely use technology to "sext."

Some parents at Thursday's meeting voiced concerns that nude photo exchanges had been going on unchecked for years in Cañon City schools. One mother said her daughter, who graduated five years ago, said "girls traded nudes like trading cards." Welsh told parents he was not aware of previous issues with students exchanging nude photos on a mass scale, although individual instances have happened in the school before.

From "Cañon City School District to host community meeting in wake of 'nude photos' scandal" by DC Spencer, Cañon City Daily Record 11/4/15


"Our suspicions are that it's been going on several years," [Supt. Welsh] said. "We suspect for sure last year, because it looks like there were several kids involved who have graduated and moved on."

"It's our belief that not a single adult was aware this was going on," he said. "No indication in any way."

However, if ongoing investigations reveal otherwise, Welsh said appropriate action will be taken.

Welsh said the situation has "run so deep," staff is dealing with "how big this thing was."

Welsh said students involved range from eighth grade to seniors in high school.

"It's not a boys-exploiting-girls situation," he said. "There was equal participation in it by both genders."

"It was flooring to find so many and there are more we don't know about," said Principal Brett Meuli.

"The decision was made based on what we saw to call the police and at that point, you just need to hand over everything you got and let the criminal investigation proceed," said Superintendent George Welsh.

"I think it's important that parents and students understand that the mere possession of these materials does constitute an ongoing crime," said District Attorney Thom LeDeux.

The district attorney says he'll work on a case by case basis, but students could face felony charges.

From "Statement by Cañon City Fremont RE-1 School District"

The matter has been turned over to the Cañon City Police Department who explain the legal issues involved as follows: A person can be charged with a class 3 felony if they have taken a picture of themselves showing a naked private body part and sent it to another person, have received such a picture and forwarded it to another person, or have received such a picture and retained possession of it over time. Police representatives have said the primary focus of their investigation will be to determine if any adults were involved, and to determine whether any photos were coerced. Formal charges will be determined by the DA's office.

. . . However, no matter what the police investigation uncovers the Cañon City School District will hold its students accountable for their actions as outlined in district policies relating to cyber bullying, sexual harassment, and irresponsible behavior.

Most importantly, the Cañon City School District recognizes the need to formally address the 21st Century skill that all citizens use technology in a legal and ethical fashion. In the coming weeks the district will build a plan to further educate children regarding these concepts. Additionally, we highly encourage all parents to discuss this emerging issue related to modern technology directly with their children.

Colorado Abortionists Endorse School Candidates

As the teacher's union and myriad other liberal organizations mount a campaign to recall conservative school board members of the Jeffco Public Schools of Jefferson County in Golden, Colorado (the state's second-largest district), Planned Parenthood sees this as a golden opportunity to increase revenue and therefore has launched a campaign telling voters to dump abstinence-based sex education in favor of their $125 per student sex kits.

-- From "School Board Recall Vote in Colorado Tests Conservative Policies" by Jack Healy, New York Times 10/28/15

The question facing voters is whether to oust a polarizing school board that has championed charter schools, performance-based teacher pay and other education measures supported by conservatives. Supporters of the recall have raised more than $250,000, about $15,000 of that from the local teachers’ union. . . .

Voters here are almost evenly divided among Democrats, Republicans and independents. In November 2013, voters broke with union-supported candidates to elect a slate of school board hopefuls running as conservative reformers.

All five seats on the board are up for election: the three conservatives facing a recall and two seats being vacated by more liberal members.

“I can take it,” said Julie Williams, one of the three conservatives, who said she had received harassing emails. “For my kids, it’s been pretty hard. I come from a strong family. We believe in standing on principle, even with malicious attacks on me personally.”

Campaign finance reports released this week show more than $450,000 has been raised by candidates and committees involved in the recall. But other organizations that act indirectly — including Americans for Prosperity, which supports the current board — do not have to file their spending. There are estimates that as much as $1 million already may have been spent on the recall.

The three union-backed candidates to replace the board members facing a recall have reported more than $144,900 in campaign contributions.

Committees supporting and opposing the recall have reported a total of about $181,000.  . . .

From "Is Planned Parenthood Targeting Schoolchildren?" by Jennifer Kerns, The Daily Signal 10/28/15

Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado, a non-profit 501(c)4 organization, has sent letters to voters asking them to become involved in the school board recalls by first signing the petition to recall their elected officials, then volunteering for the effort to oust their local school board members.

. . . the Planned Parenthood group boasts of advancing “Colorado youths’ rights to real sex education and reproductive health care.” The group still opposes the state’s Parental Notification Act passed by the legislature in 2003 that requires parents of school-aged children under the age of 18 must be notified within 48 hours prior to abortion.

. . . Planned Parenthood is selling sex kits to local schools—including schools in the county in question—which Planned Parenthood’s own national website calls “Birth Control Training Kits.”

According to Planned Parenthood’s website, each of the kits contains 10 male condoms, two “female condoms,” one intrauterine contraceptive, one package of oral contraceptives, one “dental dam,” two samples of “water-based lubricants,” “cycle beads” for natural family planning purposes, one “Today” contraceptive sponge, one “syringe” containing a Depo Provera shot, and two vaginal contraceptive spermicidal films.

At least one local official in Jefferson County familiar with the kit reports that it includes a faux “Plan B” pill to familiarize school-aged students with “the morning after” pill.

From "Vote in the Election on November 3rd For Real Sex Ed!" posted at Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado 10/15/15

For decades, abstinence-only extremists have targeted Colorado schools and students. The goal of these programs is to shame and scare youth out of sexual activity and they have proven ineffective in reducing unintended pregnancy rates.

As one of the leading reproductive health advocacy organizations in the state, Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado (PPVC) works to advocate for and protect young people’s access to age-appropriate, complete and real sex education in Colorado schools. PPVC was part of a coalition of advocates who worked with the Colorado General Assembly in 2013 to put guidelines in place for public schools who provide sex education. These guidelines require that schools that provide sex education do so in a way that is “medically accurate, age-appropriate, evidence-based, culturally-sensitive and inclusive of positive youth development.”

To help voters in choosing school board candidates, PPVC invited and collected surveys from candidates on a variety of questions concerning reproductive health and education. As a result of the survey, PPVC is issuing this list of Colorado school board candidates who are identified as “supporters” of comprehensive sex education and young people’s access to reproductive health care.

2015 Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado's School Board Candidate Supporters of Reproductive Health and Education:

    Susan Harmon - Jefferson County School Board District 2
    Ron Mitchell – Jefferson County School Board District 5

The survey includes questions about implementation of age-appropriate, medically accurate, evidence-based sex education, teaching consent and sexual assault awareness and prevention, and support of curriculum that makes LGBTQ [homosexual, bisexual, transgender, etc.] youth feel included in sex education curricula and anti-bullying and harassment strategies.  The survey also asks if the candidates support minors’ access to confidential reproductive healthcare services, and that such services should be available at school-based health centers. These services and protections are vital to ensure youth have access to the reproductive health care they need.

Colorado College Bans Bible Talk, OKs Swear Words

The Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO solicited graduate Michael Lucas for money to fund the new Clear Creek Athletics Complex in exchange for a permanent locker plaque with his name and his choice of a commemorative phrase, but now after donating $2,500, he is suing the President and the Board of Trustees of the college in federal court for censoring his chosen inscription.  The college said that his choice of the words “Colossians 3:23 and Micah 5:9” was unconstitutional, while other donors' choices of “Give ‘Em Hell” and “Take your whiskey clear” were approved.
“The Colorado School of Mines seems to be more interested in silencing or censoring speech that they don’t agree with and specifically religious speech.”

“Public colleges and universities should encourage, not shut down, the free exchange of ideas, especially in a forum like this.

“It’s patently ridiculous to argue that a Bible reference that doesn’t include the text of the verse is somehow inappropriate simply because someone might look it up and see that ‘Lord’ is mentioned there,” she said.

“CSM officials objected because they said, after the fact, that nameplate quotes could not include the words ‘Lord,’ ‘God’ or ‘Jesus’ or make reference to Bible verses that contain those words. They claimed that to allow them would be a violation of the First Amendment,” ADF explained.

Lesbian Nixes Christian Business — Denver Airport

The proud lesbian of the Denver City Council, Robin Kniech, has quelled any support for a lease to allow a Chick-fil-A restaurant to operate at the Denver International Airport (DIA) by her questioning if such a Christian-owned restaurant "fits with the kind of city we want to live in and our residents expect."

-- From "Chick-fil-A's stance against gay marriage may not fly at Denver International Airport" by Jaclyn Allen, KMGH-TV7 (Denver, CO) 8/21/15

The Business Development Committee on Tuesday stalled the seven-year deal with a new franchise of the popular chicken chain for two weeks.

Kniech and Council Member Jolon Clark on Wednesday said their focus now is on Chick-fil-A's current practices and policies.

"Constituents of mine, people who are very near and dear to me, have been fighting for their relationships to be recognized and for their rights to be equal," said Clark, who also questioned allowing the lease at DIA during Tuesday's meeting.

If the committee rejects the lease, an individual member could introduce the deal in the full council. At Tuesday's meeting, none of the 10 members in attendance defended Chick-fil-A.

A 2013 survey at DIA showed the chicken sandwich chain was the second-most suggested fast food at the airport, following Chipotle, which did not apply for the spot.

Councilman Paul Lopez called [his] opposition to the chain at DIA "really, truly a moral issue on the city."

Robin Kniech, the council's first openly gay member, said she was most worried about a local franchise generating "corporate profits used to fund and fuel discrimination." She was first to raise Chick-fil-A leaders' politics during a Tuesday committee hearing.

But legal scholars often have come to the company's defense, raising company leaders' First Amendment rights.

Several council members — including four on the six-member committee — raised questions related to Chick-fil-A's religion-influenced operation, which includes keeping all franchises closed on Sundays.

DIA has estimated the restaurant's first-year sales at $4.1 million, with $616,278 paid each year in concession fees. Chick-fil-A restaurants typically generate more in six days a week, DIA says, than most fast-food concessions that are open all seven.

We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that."

Though Dan Cathy later pledged the company would not champion any political agendas surrounding marriage or family, the Cathys stood firm on its Christian values.

According to the company's website, "Truett Cathy, made the decision to close on Sundays in 1946 when he opened his first restaurant in Hapeville, Georgia. He has often shared that his decision was as much practical as spiritual. He believes that all franchised Chick-fil-A Operators and Restaurant employees should have an opportunity to rest, spend time with family and friends, and worship if they choose to do so. That's why all Chick-fil-A Restaurants are closed on Sundays. It's part of our recipe for success."

Colo. Gov't Teenage Uterine Control Success Touted

Sexual revolutionaries across America are marveling at, what would seem to be obvious:  When teenage girls are subjected, without parental notification, to government-injected devices into their uterus that prevent implantation of fertilized human eggs, the rate of teenage pregnancy will drop.  However, what naïve liberals overlook (or simply don't care about) is the resulting natural increase in the rate of teen sexual promiscuity that then leads to fewer stable families in the future, and thus the ultimate collapse of society.
"Teens are complicated:  They're forgetful, nervous, anxious, awkward, transitioning. Give them the option of an IUD or contraceptive implant and now their worries and quirks around sex and preventing pregnancy are taken care of in one setting for the next five to 10 years."
-- Dr. Jennifer Francis, Columbia University Medical Center (New York City)

-- From "How Colorado lowered teen pregnancy rate by 40%" by Ashley Welch, CBS News 7/7/15

From 2009 to 2015, the Colorado Family Planning Initiative provided women around the state with intrauterine devices (IUDs) or implants, types of long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) at little or no cost. During that period, teen births dropped 40 percent and abortions fell 35 percent, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

The use of LARC methods has increased nearly five-fold over the last decade, according to a 2015 report from the CDC. And just last year, the American Academy of Pediatrics updated its recommendations, suggesting IUDs and implants should be the "first line" of contraceptives in preventing teen pregnancy.

While LARC methods are covered under the [ObamaCare] Affordable Care Act, several loopholes exist and some insurers may not cover the full cost of the device and its insertion. Experts say confidentiality is also a problem, as teens are less likely to get IUDs when their parents' insurance companies send a letter home explaining the procedure.

[Dr.] Francis hopes the success seen in Colorado will influence broader policies ensuring access to LARC methods for women across the country.

From "Colorado’s push against teen pregnancies proves huge success" by Sabrina Tavernise, The New York Times 7/5/15

Teenage births have been declining nationally, but experts say the timing and magnitude of the reductions in Colorado are a strong indication the state’s program was a major driver.

About one-fifth of women ages 18 to 44 in Colorado now use a long-acting method, a substantial increase driven largely by teenagers and poor women.

Women’s health advocates contend that long-acting birth control is giving American women more say over when — and with whom — they have children.

Proponents say the [Colorado] program is working. The state health department estimated that every dollar spent on the long-acting birth-control initiative saved $5.85 for the state’s Medicaid program, which covers more than three-quarters of teenage pregnancies and births. Enrollment in the federal nutrition program for women with young children declined nearly a quarter between 2010 and 2013.

From "Colorado's Teen Birth Rate Fell 40 Percent Thanks To A Free Contraception Program" by Anna Almendrala, The Huffington Post 7/6/15

"The findings from the Colorado study are exciting, and highlight the importance of removing barriers to LARC use for all women, but in particular those at high risk of unintended pregnancy, such as adolescents and poor women,” said Dr. Maria Rodriguez, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology who specializes in family planning at Oregon Health & Science University, but was not involved in the Colorado LARC experiment.

In addition to being free, the program’s stunning success can be partly attributed to LARCs’ superior effectiveness rate. Short of permanent sterilization, IUDs and hormonal implants are the most fool-proof way to protect against pregnancy, with failure rates of less than one percent. Condoms, on the other hand, have failure rates of 18 to 21 percent with average use, while the pill, the patch and the ring have failure rates of nine percent.

Unfortunately, teens aren’t using LARCs at the same rates as older women, most likely because of the high upfront cost associated with the devices and unfounded fear and misunderstanding of LARCs, according to a recent CDC report.

From "Colo. won't fund birth-control initiative despite success" by Mary Bowerman and Trevor Hughes, USA TODAY 7/7/15

A much-heralded Colorado effort credited with significantly reducing teen pregnancy and abortion rates is searching for new funding after GOP lawmakers declined to provide taxpayer dollars to keep it going.

Started in 2009 with an anonymous private grant, the state-run Colorado Family Planning Initiative gave free or reduced-price IUDs or implantable birth control to more than 30,000 women.

Colorado Family Action, which opposed state funding for the program, said using taxpayer dollars would have inappropriately inserted the government between children and their parents.

"We believe that offering contraceptives to teens, especially long-acting reversible contraceptives, while it may prevent pregnancy, does not help them understand the risks that come with sexual activities," CFA said in a statement. "We should not remove parents from the equation — equipping teens for safe sex without their parent's involvement bypasses this critical parental right and responsibility. Parents need to be the primary educator when it comes to sexual education and the primary decision about healthcare choices for their children. Lastly, Colorado taxpayers should not be paying for the 'Cadillac' of birth control for minor children."

Colo. School Censors Homosexual Speech—Media Fume

When public schools ban students from speaking of their Christian faith, the media cheer, but when Twin Peaks Charter Academy of the St. Vrain Valley School District in Longmont, Colorado told valedictorian Evan Young that he couldn't speak at graduation of his Gay Pride while denouncing the homophobic school, per the overtly sexual text he submitted for pre-screening, the media pounced on the school and excoriated Principal BJ Bachmann for "outing" Young to his parents (who knew nothing of their son's "sexual orientation").
“First Amendment law in this area reflects common sense.  As the Supreme Court has noted . . . It is not a time for a student to use his commencement speech to push his personal agenda on a captive audience, and school officials are well within their rights to prevent that from happening.”
-- Barry Arrington, school attorney

Eighteen-year-old Evan Young told the Daily Camera that he agreed to make some suggested changes to his speech but wouldn't remove the disclosure about his sexuality. Young says he wasn't notified until just a few minutes before the May 16 ceremony that he wouldn't be allowed to speak or be recognized as valedictorian.

A gay rights group, Out Boulder, has asked Young to deliver his speech during an event Sunday.

The principal, BJ Bachmann, decided to call Evan’s dad and tell him about the speech. In doing so, Bachmann also told [him] his son was gay. Problem is, Rob and his wife Alise Curry had no clue.

Five minutes before he was supposed to give his valedictorian speech, Mr. Bachmann told Evan’s parents their son wouldn’t be talking. To make matters worse, Alise says the school never even acknowledged Evan as valedictorian.

The student with a 4.5 GPA who has a scholarship to Rutgers University had been silenced by a school board who didn’t feel his message was appropriate.

The talking point principal BJ Buchmann had a problem with was Young’s revelation that he is gay. Young planned to disclose his sexual orientation publicly for the first time during his speech.

Young sent a copy of his speech to the school administrators, who returned it to him with requested changes, most of which Young said he made. But when it came to omitting his sexual orientation, Young drew the line.

“I’d told him I’m not going to remove the part where I say I’m gay, because I am. It’s important to me,” said Young.

“My parents are very liberal. I think they were totally OK with it,” said Young.

The principal cancelled Young’s speech minutes before graduation. The school released a statement which read, in part, “The initial draft of the student’s speech… was condescending toward the school and the student’s peers and included, among other things, ridiculing comments about faculty and students. The draft speech also included references to personal matters of a sexual nature.”

“We initially said to ourselves, ‘Well maybe this is not the forum’ but when we read the speech and the context of ‘I’m gay, I’m different, we’re all different, we should all accept each other’ that was the context,” said Evan’s mother Alise Corry.

The story has generated a controversy that has reached far beyond Colorado. Out Boulder, a gay advocacy organization, said it has received emails of support for Evan from around the country.

"Mr. Buchmann called me and said, 'I've got Evan's speech here. There's two things in it that I don't think are appropriate,'" Don Young, [Evan's father,] an accountant, recalled. "One was he had mentioned another student's name. And then there was his coming out that he was gay."

That was the first time in Evan Young's life that his parents had been given a clue about his sexual identity.

"He's Evan, you know?" his father said. "He's never really expressed interest in either (boys or girls). He's just a teenager. ... But we had no indication beforehand."

Initially, Evan's parents were somewhat sympathetic to Buchmann's decision concerning the speech.

"His mother and I were not sure that his coming out in a valedictorian speech was the appropriate place to say it, with grandchildren and 3-year-olds in the audience, and that's kind of what we said to BJ," Don Young said.

Denver Baker Refuses 'Anti-Gay' Bible Cake Order

While Christians in the wedding business are being prosecuted by governments as well as fined and/or bankrupted by lawsuits for refusing to participate in same-sex ceremonies, the gay-friendly Azucar Bakery in Denver, Colorado is being investigated by the Colorado Civil Rights Division for discriminating against a customer who wanted a Bible-shaped cake with words that she considers hateful to gays and against her moral conscience.

Colorado lawmakers are considering new legislation to permit businesses to refuse services that violate the owner's religious or moral beliefs.

“The government should not be able to compel bakers to print things that they disagree with.”
-- Gordon Klingenschmitt, Colorado state representative (Republican)

-- From "Complaint: Baker refused to write anti-gay words on cake" by Jessica Oh, KUSA-TV posted at USA Today Network 1/20/15

In March of 2014, a customer named Bill Jack requested several cakes in the shapes of Bibles from the Azucar Bakery in Denver, Colo., according to the bakery owner, Marjorie Silva.

Silva says Jack pulled out a piece of paper with phrases like "God hates gays" and requested her to write them on his cakes.

He wouldn't let employees make a copy of the paper and would not read the words out loud, Silva claims. The bakery owner also says the customer wanted an image of two men holding hands with an "X" on top.

"After I read it, I was like 'No way,'" Silva said. "'We're not doing this. This is just very discriminatory and hateful.'"

She said she would make the cake, but declined to write his suggested messages on the cake, telling him she would give him icing and a pastry bag so he could write the words himself. Silva said the customer didn't want that.

The case comes as Republicans in Colorado's Legislature talk about changing the state law requiring that businesses serve gays in the wake of a series of incidents where religious business owners rejected orders to celebrate gay weddings. Republican Sen. Kevin Lundberg said the new case shows a "clash of values" and argued Colorado's public accommodation law is not working.

"The state shouldn't come in and say to the individual businessman, 'You must violate your religious — and I'll say religious-slash-moral convictions. This baker (Silva), thought that was a violation of their moral convictions. The other baker, which we all know very well because of all the stories, clearly that was a violation of their religious convictions," Lundberg said.

In addition to being a state legislator, [Gordon] Klingenschmitt is also an ordained minister and former Navy chaplain who has made suggestions on multiple occasions that President Barack Obama may be possessed by demons. In this case, however, Klingenschmitt said he supports Silva’s right to “not print the Bible on her cakes.”

Klingenschmitt agrees so strongly with Silva, in fact, that he is sponsoring legislation to protect her rights in the state’s current legislative session.

That said, Klingenschmitt was also quick to point out that he also sided with Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips in a similar 2012 incident that was settled in court last year. The only difference between the two cases was that Phillips refused to make a rainbow-layered cake for a Colorado gay couple’s wedding in Massachusetts, citing a religious objection to gay marriage.

This is why, Klingenschmitt said, he is in the early drafting stages of a bill that he hopes will garner bipartisan support for its efforts to “repair an existing flaw in Colorado’s nondiscrimination statues.”

From "Focus on the Family Sides With Colorado Baker Who Refused to Bake 'God Hates Gays' Cake" by Michael Gryboski, Christian Post Reporter 1/21/15

Jeff Johnston, issues analyst with the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family, told The Christian Post that he sided with the pro-gay bakery on the grounds of First Amendment rights.

"This is a free speech issue, and we support freedom of speech. It's also a religious or conscience issue — the government should not force people to violate their core beliefs," said Johnston.

"Just as a Christian baker should not be required to create a cake for a same-sex ceremony, this baker should not be required to create a cake with a message that goes against her conscience."

Azucar is not the first bakery to find itself in legal trouble over expression regarding homosexuality, but it might be the first to face possible legal action for refusing to cater to anti-gay sentiments.

. . . the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies . . . ruled that the Azucar Bakery was within its rights when employees refused to carry out an order from customer William Jack in March 2014, according to the Denver Post.

Marjorie Silva, the bakery’s owner, agreed to make the cakes but refused to put the ant-gay imagery on them, according to the AP.

Not long after her refusal, Silva said she received notice from the state’s Department of Regulatory Agencies that she was the subject of a religious discrimination complaint.

While Jack argued that he had been discriminated against for being Christian, the department’s decision said evidence showed Silva refused to bake the cakes because the customer’s requests included “derogatory language and imagery.” . . .

UPDATE 4/4/15: From "'Gay' cakes protected, anti-'gay' cakes not" posted at World Net Daily

Last week, the state agency ruled that Denver’s Azucar Bakery did not discriminate against William Jack, a Christian from Castle Rock, by refusing to make two cakes with “groomsmen” X’d out and . . . the following Bible verses: “God hates sin. Psalm 45:7,” “Homosexuality is a detestable sin. Leviticus 18:2,” “God loves sinners” and “While we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Romans 5:8.”

He told the civil rights agency he ordered the cakes with the imagery and biblical verses to convey that same-sex marriage is, in his words, “un-biblical and inappropriate.”

“I find it offensive that the Colorado Civil Rights Division considers the baker’s claims that Bible verses were discriminatory as the reason for denying my claim,” Jack told 7NEWS on Saturday. “I find it offensive that the legal director of the Colorado division of the ACLU called the Bible verses on the cakes obscenities. Especially at this time on the church calendar – Holy Week – I find it offensive that the Bible is censored from the public arena.”

Jack said he is in the process of filing an appeal with the Colorado Civil Rights Division.

Colorado School Visits Mosque, Enforces Sharia Law

In preparation for a field trip to three religious buildings (none of them Catholic or protestant Christian), the Douglas County School District announced a discriminatory dress code:  All girls would have to cover themselves from head to toe in order to be in compliance with Islamic Sharia Law requirements for female dress.
“Students who choose to attend the [Rocky Heights Middle School] world religion field trip are expected to respect the dress code of the host facility. All students must wear appropriate long pants. Ankles must be covered. Girls must bring wide scarves or hooded sweatshirts for the mosque.”

Officials explained the field trip is an option, not a requirement.

If students do choose to participate in the field trip, they are subject to the Shariah dress requirements of the mosque, the school said.
