Albuquerque, USA - A New Mexico man sued the Air Force on Thursday, claiming senior officers and cadets at the Air Force Academy illegally imposed Christianity on others at the school.
The suit was filed in federal court by Mikey Weinstein, an academy graduate and outspoken critic of the school's handling of religion.
Over the past decade or more, the suit claims, academy leaders have fostered an environment of religious intolerance at the Colorado school, in violation of the First Amendment.
Weinstein claims that evangelical Christians at the school have coerced attendance at religious services and prayers at official events, among other things.
"It's a shocking disgrace that I had to file this thing," Weinstein told The Associated Press.
