DENVER--Roy Moore, former chief justice of Alabama's Supreme Court, condemned federal courts that restrict the acknowledgment of God in schools and public places, The Denver Post reported. Moore was ousted after a controversy over a Ten Commandments monument in the court house last year.
He spoke to more than 1,000 Christian home-schoolers and parents outside the state Capitol in Denver.
"It's time to say enough is enough," he said. "It's time to say no longer will we sit quietly by while our federal judges unlawfully and in violation of their oath of office take from us our right to acknowledge God."
Moore was removed from the bench in November after he was found to be in violation of a federal court order mandating that he remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from the rotunda of the Alabama judicial building.
U.S. Senate hopeful Bob Schaffer also spoke to the home-schooling crowd.
"You cannot separate the spiritual well-being of a child from the academic growth of a young mind," Schaffer, a Republican, told the gathering.
He also asked the crowd for their vote. "I need it, and I need it in a big way. And on Nov. 2, Election Day, we will be victorious, and we'll take a pro-homeschool message to Washington," Schaffer said.
