“Kathy Castor has dismissed calls to bar people who accept money from fossil fuel companies, saying it would violate the right to free speech.”
Prohibitions against accepting bribes are a violation of “free speech.”
Prohibitions against boycotting Israel are not a violation of free speech.
Trump’s border wall is “racist.”
Israel’s border wall and apartheid walls are not racist.
America’s barring of immigrants is “barbaric.”
Israel’s barring of immigrants is not barbaric, nor is Israel’s extermination of Palestinians.
To call Israeli racism “racism” is racism.
Welcome to Washington, Alexandria. The system will do everything possible to muzzle you / derail your initiatives / undermine your support. It will try to make you conform or quit.
I learned this serving on a school board. I can only imagine what you are up against.
Word search of "bribe" in the Bible
Notice all 24 references are in the Old Testament, which is very neglected by American churches.
