In an editorial titled “Team Jesus Christ” the Washington Post opines on the recent investigation into accusations of religious intolerance at the U.S. Air Force Academy.

More important, it’s imperative that the Air Force ensure that the academy
welcomes and accommodates cadets of all faiths, or none at all. Cadet training
is, by its nature, an experience in which young men and women are under enormous
pressure to conform. It is especially important, in that atmosphere, that cadets
not feel that professing a certain religion is part of the norm to which they
must adhere. Cadets need to know that they can serve the Air Force, and their
country, even if they haven’t signed up for Team Jesus Christ.

In a separate story in the Post, the superintendent of the Academy has acknowledged that religious intolerance at the institution is pervasive.
