No more Bible study! Beaumont, Texas’ men and women in blue have been told they can no longer hold a voluntary Bible study during lunch at the police station. After meeting like this for years, with no complaints, the City of Beaumont has demanded that the officers stop.
A pre-suit letter, which is required by the Texas Religious Freedom Restoration Act, is being sent to the city stating that the officers’ religious rights have been infringed upon.
Sargent Burt Moore, who helped found the Faith and Fellowship Bible study, pointed out that the City Council prays before its meetings and the police station will start an event with prayer as well.
He also said that there is a chaplain program which still meets at the station. The study he says has a diverse group of faiths and ethnicities coming together for the study and believes the City is “unfairly targeting us.”

Really???? What they do on their own time is none of anybody’s business! If they stop their Bible study because of this order, they are fools….
Against the law of the land. The cops involved need to stand by the Freedom of Religion & Freedom of Assembly, and Freedom of speech. Then, bring a class action suit against the city.
Come on Texas, your better than that!
Texas cops can do what they want! TRUE texans unite against those phonies on that city council!
How can these idiots think they can control what we do on our own time. If we cannot have our bible and our God why should these invaders have the Koran and Sharia Law. Somebody got their wires crossed, this is American, remember? OUR COUNTRY, not theirs.
We are Americans we don’t follow orders against our Constitution
They can do whatever they wish on their own time. No one should be doing that on my time/taxpayer time.
Keep studying. In fact, study more!
Really Texas? Cruz are you gonna let this happen????
I would tell them to go to hell first what is happening? O I know can U guess?
