A Christian teenager was arrested while reading the Bible in protest outside of an all-ages drag event in Wisconsin.

Police claim that Marcus Schroeder was arrested for a sound amplification violation. He was reading a passage from Galatians outside of the “family” drag event on a public sidewalk. Police reported that they had previously warned the group, but Schroeder claimed they had not been given a warning once they had moved outside of the event’s perimeters. 

Following his arrest, Schroeder shared a message of faith while explaining his side at a city meeting.

People are pointing to the inherent double standards in the case — peaceful Christians punished while unpeaceful leftist rioters are not. As the 2020 BLM riots caused destruction and unrest across the United States, Idaho Christians were arrested for leading outdoor worship during COVID lockdowns. They recently were granted a $300,000 payout for this violation of their constitutional rights.
