1. This article is about Escondido illegally endorsing Christianity. Some speakers at the City Council said "Jesus" and "Heavenly father" during the speeches. Even though the ACLU accuses Escondido of endorsing, the city says that they never chose the words for the speakers, and the speakers said it at their own will.
2.This article connects to the First Great Awakening. The speakers endorsed Christianity. The First Great Awakening promoted religion and living based around the Church. Both situations publicly promoted religion.
3. This connects to my life as a citizen, because I am not necessarily religious, and people commonly endorse religion in public. Many people around the streets endorse religion with signs that say "God" and "Jesus" and "Heavenly Fahter". I never really thought of switching religion, but if I did, then it could make a big difference.
4. I believe the endorsing of Christianity is wrong. When the speakers use "Heavenly father" and such, it was obvious they were endorsing, and I think its wrong, when there is a variety of beliefs out there, and they said it in a public place. They should just use common sense, when they know it's wrong, and that they will most likely get a warning from the ACLU anyways.
