Keep Religious Right Propaganda Off Alabama Public Television

Do you think public television should give free airtime to anti-gay Religious Right propaganda?

Neither did two senior employees of Alabama Public Television who objected to airing a TV series produced by right-wing pseudo-historian David Barton -- a Religious Right activist who supports imprisoning gay people. But when they spoke up, they were fired by the Republican-controlled Alabama Educational Television Commission.

Public television is beloved for featuring entertaining, educational content, not hatred and lies. The Republicans on the AETC purging dissenting employees think they have the support of the religious community. They need to hear that people of faith reject their partisan agenda.

Tell the Alabama Educational Television Commission: Reinstate the fired staff and keep the hateful Religious Right propaganda off public television.

The hateful political propaganda in David Barton's American Heritage Series has no place on public television, and Alabama Public Television employees Allan Pizzato and Pauline Howland were right to object to its airing. We call on the leaders of the Alabama Educational Television Commission to reinstate these staffers and keep Religious Right hate off their stations.
