In late January, Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin’s attorneys filed legal documents arguing that the state should not have to pay nearly $225,000 in legal fees that accrued during former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis’ court battle over her refusal to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Americans United warned government officials years ago to keep Kim Davis at arm’s length. Far from being a hero, she’s just a plain old lawbreaker, an extremist who decided that her religion gave her the right to use a taxpayer-funded position to deny others rights that were affirmed by the highest court in the land.

Last Thursday was Bring Your Bible To School Day, a relatively new “holiday” foisted upon us by the Religious Right organizations Focus on the Family and Alliance Defending Freedom. An annual event that began in 2014, Bring Your Bible to School Day encourages students to “share God’s love with their friends” – in other words, it’s the organizations’ attempt to turn schoolchildren into conservative Christian missionaries.
