Decision:
A former Air Force Academy professor’s leadership seminar for a group of military lawyer reservists was canceled July 17 following an atheist organization’s complaint about the lecturer’s Christian affiliations.
Air Force veteran Jay Lorenzen had been scheduled to lead a seminar for Marine Corps JAG reservists with the topics “Leadership Principles Drawn from the Physical Battlefield that Have Application to Other Arenas,” and “Leaders Learn the Language of Leadership.”
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) complained to U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) officials on behalf of a Judge Advocate General (JAG) reservist who objected to Christian references in the seminar presenter’s biographical summary online.
