TAMPA, FL — Last week, Liberty Counsel presented testimony and several critical documents before federal Judge Steven Merryday during a preliminary injunction for a U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet who faced immediate discipline after being denied his appeal for a religious accommodation from the COVID shot mandate.
The Cadet is a Christian with sincerely held religious beliefs that compel him to abstain from accepting or receiving anything that has connection to abortion. During the hearing, the Cadet told the judge that his fellow cadets don’t have a problem with his vaccination status and that the Air Force Academy is now open to the public, where unvaccinated visitors may explore the grounds and dine with cadets in the mess hall.
