Columnist: 3 Cheers For Nuxoll
Andrew Jenson, a columnist for the University of Idaho Argonaut, defends Idaho Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll, R-Cottonwood, for boycotting prayer by Hindu chaplain Rajan Zed earlier this month:
"This whole situation is hilarious. It’s adorable to see various religious leaders demand an apology from another religious person for standing up for her faith. By asking for an apology, it’s like they’re admitting they don’t believe any one faith is the true faith, even though they are all members of specific faiths. If it’s improper and insensitive for Nuxoll to denounce other faiths, why is it OK for them to become members of and proclaim their own faiths? After all, by choosing to be a part of one religion, an individual immediately discredits all other religions." Full column here.
