He holds an MA in History from the University of Rochester and a BA in History from Alfred University. He earned a Certificate in Political Theory from Oxford University and was a Rhodes Scholar finalist. Prior to his interest in anomalous phenomena, Dolan studied US Cold War strategy, Soviet history, and international diplomacy.

This is the first volume of a two-part historical narrative of the national security dimensions of the UFO phenomenon from 1941 to the present. Included are the records of more than fifty military bases relating to violations of sensitive airspace by unknown objects, demonstrating that the US military has taken the topic of UFOs seriously indeed.

What to do when a PUBLIC school doesnt have a separation of church & state?

Question by naomi j: What to do when a PUBLIC school doesnt have a separation of church & state?
My school doesnt receive federal funding and because of that they can basically set their own rules. The high-ups all follow one particular religious belief and this has been a sort of wall for many clubs in the school. If the school admins dont like what the club is about – too bad. Ironically, this has stopped the Christian Club from becoming official. Also, the GSA has not been permitted to meet and the Anime Club is unofficial. (Christian club is limited to putting up one poster in a designated spot, they cannot advertise is any other way, their website was taken off the schools club page, they cannot fundraise, etc. WHILE anime club can do all of the above.)

What to do what to do?
The club that I am a part of is the Christian Club – we exist as an unofficial club but we cannot do many things due to that.

Our school is run by taxes – the reason that I mention not being federally funded is because that excludes us from the Equal Access Act which was basically made for the sake of religious clubs and the GSA.

We turned down federal funding and faced a referendum a few years ago.

I don’t really understand your question. BUT, I think you should write to your congressman or something about it. It sounds dumb, but it might make a little difference. Hope this helps!

Activists Assaulted At Hawaii State Capitol (4/29/2010)

On April 29, 2010, activists Mitch Kahle and Kevin Hughes were assaulted by Ben Villaflor, the Senate Sergeant-At-Arms, and State Sheriff’s Deputies, for objecting to unconstitutional Christian prayers used to begin each session of the Hawaii State Legislature. Hughes was injured in the attack and was taken to the hospital for x-rays and treatment. Kahle was arrested and prosecuted, but was ultimately vindicated when Judge Leslie Hayashi found Kahle “NOT GUILTY” and ruled that: “The Senate’s [Christian] prayers violate the constitutional separation of church and state.” More to come . . .

Q&A: is it true there is separation between church and state?

Question by Mark Rednibma: is it true there is separation between church and state?
I ask because the Constitution says nothing about separation of church / state. I believe this atavistic devotion to this manufactured separation impedes our progress in prosecuting the war on terror: it impedes our own admission that we are fighting a violent religion, and that to be successful, we must be true to our own religious heritage and wage war on behalf of it.

Christine O’Donnell First Amendment Separation Of Church And State

www.realestateradiousa.com | Is Christine O’Donnell real ignorant about the Costitution or is the media being horribly unfair?Where better to learn about the US Constitution than at a law school? Unfortunately for Delaware Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell, that education — which came at Delaware’s Widener Law on Thursday — was courtesy of her opponent in the race, Democrat Chris Coons, in the midst of their second debate. After scolding Coons for his lack of knowledge of constitutional law for stating that intelligent design should not be taught in public schools (a matter decided in a scathing decision in the case of Kitzmiller v. Dover School District), O’Donnell challenged her rival on his assertion that the US Constitution creates a distinct separation between church and state. “Where in the Constitution is separation of church and state?” O’Donnell asked. Upon hearing her words, the audience in the room burst into laughter. Video of the debate captures the moment at the 2:46 mark. Later in the proceedings, after fielding questions on the candidates’ views on repealing the 14th, 16th and 17th Amendments, Coons returned the conversation to the question of the constitutionally mandated separation of church and state. “I absolutely oppose the widespread proposals by tea party candidates for us to repeal the 14th, 16th or 17th amendments.” Coons said. “I also think you just heard, in the answers from my opponent, and in her attempt at saying ‘where is the separation
