Maybe the witches are real and in charge.
"Salem, Massachusetts has terminated its relationship and contract with Gordon College---a Christian College, over the institution's belief about homosexuality.
The Mayor of Salem has announced that the city's contract with Gordon for usage of the historic Old Town Hall has been immediately terminated.
There is some irony in this witch hunt to evict Christians from the public square in Salem, Massachusetts of all places.
The college had a reciprocal arrangement where they provided management of the facility in exchange for using it for educational programs connected to Gordon College, as well as curation experiences for history majors at Gordon.
Why did the city take such sudden and decisive action?
Salem Mayor Kimberly Driscoll says the city has issue with the college's "behavioral standards" policy, which specifically forbids "homosexual behavior" for students and faculty...
But isn't the city discriminating against the college's religious freedom?
Mayor Driscoll says "not at all."
She says, "The city's action...cannot be construed as discrimination against a viewpoint."
"Rather," she says, "the city terminated the contract because Gordon's behavioral standards code conflicted with our fully LGBT inclusive non-discrimination ordinance."
But churches rent space from both public schools and government facilities, how is this different when some of the churches also believe in biblical teaching on homosexual behavior?
Here's the classic statement from the mayor:
"It's not discriminating to reject discrimination.""
