New Label: Sharia Creep And Banning Christianity

New Haven Connecticut high school drops "in the year of our Lord" from granduating diplomas. The article goes on to helpfully explain,
"The phrase, “in the year of our Lord,” comes from the Latin “Anno Domini,” which was abbreviated A.D. and traditionally placed at the beginning of a year to indicate the number of years since the birth of Jesus, as in A.D. 2010.

While it is rarely used today, the phrase was commonly used many years ago. One notable instance is in Article VII of the U.S. Constitution, which is dated to “Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven,” or Sept. 17, 1787. It also appears in White House proclamations."

And Islamic Sharia gets police back-up in Michigan. Maybe Michigan cops should familiarize themselves with this helpful bit of law...

Amendment 1, U.S. Constitution: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble.
