CHRISTIANS JAILED FOR PASSING OUT
TEN COMMANDMENTS TRACTS
Palmetto, FL - Six Christians were jailed today as they passed out Ten
Commandments tracts to students on the public sidewalk outside of Palmetto High
School in Palmetto, Florida. "This is what it has come to in our nation
"
said Rev. Flip Benham, National Director of Operation Rescue/Operation Save
America. "
God has been expelled from our public schools, banished
from the public school yard, and has been replaced with metal detectors, armed
police officers, drugs, condoms, and violence of unprecedented order. Today
in Palmetto, Florida, God has been removed from the public sidewalk. What a
travesty!"
"Our desire was simply to bring Jesus
to Palmetto High School and give kids tracts of the Ten Commandments, that they
might know that their only hope is in Him. We remained only on the public sidewalk
and were arrested at the whim of the principle and the police department of
Palmetto." said Tom McGlade, one of the six arrested.
