The "cancel culture" has struck again, this time in the Marine Corps, with the cancellation of a training session for reservists because of the instructor's Christian faith.
Air Force veteran Jay Lorenzen was scheduled to lead a U.S. Marine Corps Judge Advocate General training session on July 17 before a complaint by the non-profit Military Religious Freedom Foundation, or MRFF, prompted Marine brass to cancel him.
MRFF's complaint centered on a completely separate course Lorenzen taught in his free time, a course for the Christian group Cru, formerly known as Campus Crusade for Christ, called "The Gospel Courageous and the Gospel Corrective Leader."
In Lorenzen's defense, the non-profit First Liberty Institute contended the content of his presentation to the reservists "did not contain any explicit religious instructions."
