Kim Davis Is Released From Jail

Kim Davis, a Rowan County clerk in Kentucky, was released from jail on September 8th, 2015, and she had a few things to say to the press upon her release. On September, 4th, Davis was jailed for refusing to administer marriage licenses to gay couples. She used her religion as a clutch when she was asked why she did not do her job. Not only did she break the law by discriminating against a group of people while in the workplace, but she also abandoned the basic tasks that are assigned to her as county clerk.

Some may say that she has every right to refuse because she has the freedom to practice her religion, but as a government official, you have to abide by the law; however, if she owned a private business, she would have every right to refuse to serve whomever she pleases, but that was not the case here.

“I just want to give God the glory, keep on pressing, don’t let down because He is here.” Kim stated. Although her dedication to her faith is admirable, her unwillingness to fulfill the requirements demanded by her position is quite embarrassing and unneeded.
