 DENVER (AP) - A task force investigating religious intolerance at the Air Force Academy acknowledged Saturday it did not meet with two outspoken critics. The Air Force task force began a review last week of reports that evangelical Protestants were harassing cadets of other faiths, and is to report Monday to the acting secretary of the Air Force, Michael Dominguez.
The task force is investigating allegations that cadets were pressured to attend religious services, that public prayers were held before official events and that Jewish cadets were harassed and insulted.
Kristen Leslie, a Yale theology professor, said Saturday that no one from the task force had contacted her. Leslie attended a basic training exercise at the academy last year and reported observing an academy chaplain tell cadets to warn their colleagues who are not born again that they will burn in hell.
