Senior Citizens Prohibited From Praying Before Government Subsidized Meal


Senior Citizens Inc. officials have prohibited prayer at Port Wentworth's Ed Young Senior Citizens Center near Savannah when they provide the meal. They claim government rules prohibit it in the name of separation of church and state because part of the meal is paid for by a federal subsidy. This is political correctness insanity.

WSBTV reported:

But Senior Citizens Inc. officials said Friday the meals they are contracted by the city to provide to Ed Young visitors are mostly covered with federal money, which ushers in the burden of separating church and state.

The dilemma is being hashed out by the Port Wentworth city attorney, said Mayor Glenn "Pig" Jones...

"We can't scoff at their rules," he said of federal authorities. "It's a part of the operational guidelines."
