In Manning v. Powers, 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 213749
(CD CA, Dec. 13, 2017), a California federal district court granted a
preliminary injunction banning the government from enforcing two parole
conditions imposed on Sherman Manning, a Baptist minister who had served
25 years in prison for sexual assaults on teenage boys. One of the
challenged conditions prohibited Manning from entering places where
children congregate. Authorities had interpreted that to prohibit him
from entering any church. In invalidating that broad prohibition, the
court said in part,,,
Religion Clause: Parole Condition Barring Church Attendance Is Enjoined
Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
