Disney Should Be Held Accountable for A&E bigotry

Please step up and take responsibility for righting this religious persecution.

Dear Mr. Bodenheimer:

I was quite surprised to see that Disney, a part-owner of A&E, had permitted the Leah Remini series to run last year, and that they intend to run a new series this summer. These series are totally disgusting and a vile hate campaign conducted against the Church of Scientology, my religion.

Scientology is a religion. A&E’s acts are acts of hatred against myself and others who practice their faith of choice.

I am very disappointed and hope that, while Disney may not be directly responsible, you none-the-less take action to rein in the bigotry that A&E is foisting off on the American—and now international—public. Were this the Jewish faith, or any denomination of the Christian faith I am sure you would neither condone nor permit it.

Please step up and take responsibility for righting this religious persecution.
