The Washington Times:
COLORADO SPRINGS — Score one for the Air Force Academy football players who take a Tim Tebow-style knee in a brief pregame prayer on the field.
An inquiry conducted by Air Force Academy officials concluded this week that cadets may continue their informal tradition in reaction to a complaint that plunged this military community into a heated debate over free speech and church-state separation.
“Recently the United States Air Force Academy received a complaint about its football players kneeling in prayer. An inquiry was initiated, which found the football players’ actions to be consistent with Air Force Instruction 1-1 and its guidance on the free exercise of religion and religious accommodation,” academy officials said in a statement provided Wednesday to The Washington Times.
