Okla. Town Police End Religious Facebook Postings
An Oklahoma police chief will stop publishing religious posts on his police department’s Facebook page after advocates deemed the posts unconstitutional.
Mounds Police Department Chief Antonio Porter had been posting Bible-themed messages, including verses and lessons on the department’s page.
The ACLU of Oklahoma sent a letter informing Porter and Mounds Mayor Rosa Jackson that religious posts were an endorsement of religion from the department, hence violating the First Amendment.
