No school district should be bullied into exposing children to sexually graphic material," Cortman says. "It is reprehensible that the ACLU is more concerned about advancing an agenda that exposes children to harm than they are about protecting those children. Those who oppose bullying should not be bullies themselves." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/03/12/federal-judge-orders-mo-school-district-to-remove-website-filters-mo-family-update/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/28/mo-fpc-state-legislators-take-stand-against-federal-abortion-rx-mandate/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/28/mo-fpc-state-legislators-take-stand-against-federal-abortion-rx-mandate/#comments Tue, 28 Feb 2012 16:02:14 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=127061 reports. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/28/mo-fpc-state-legislators-take-stand-against-federal-abortion-rx-mandate/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/01/31/christian-ministry-censured-for-failing-to-host-same-sex-ritual-missouri-family-policy-council/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/01/31/christian-ministry-censured-for-failing-to-host-same-sex-ritual-missouri-family-policy-council/#comments Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:29:37 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=124504 News from Missouri Family Policy Council: Jim Campbell, staff counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund, deplored the judge's attack on religious freedom.
