Fighting the God Resolution
A local chapter of The National Conference for Community and Justice is fighting the God Resolution here in Knoxville, reports Michael Silence:
Knox County’s proposed God resolution would create intolerance and should be withdrawn, a local group that advocates racial and religious tolerance said in a statement released Tuesday.
The Knoxville Region of The National Conference for Community and Justice also says “facts within the resolution are highly selective and present an inaccurate historical picture of our founding.”
The resolution “would create an atmosphere of intolerance for cultures not represented in the statement,” the statement adds.
Knox County commissioners are scheduled to vote on the resolution on Monday, which urges all citizens to recognize God as the foundation of American heritage and government.
I’m glad someone is fighting it. Now, about Blount County . . .

I’ll be interested to see how this plays out. I’m pleasantly surprised that someone is fighting the resolution.
