(CNSNews.com) – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) decided to change wording in its naturalization test materials to say "freedom of religion" instead of "freedom of worship" in relation to First Amendment rights, a step thatSen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) had been pushing for since last year.
Lankford initially wrote to DHS in June 2015 pointing out that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) study materials for the naturalization test listed the answer of "freedom of worship" as a "right of everyone living in the United States."
"American Idol" was "born" exactly nine months after 9/11. The timing was significant, because since its premiere on June 11, 2002, the show has become an integral part of the country's coping strategy – a kind of guidebook for our difficult entry into the 21st century.
