The Star-Telegram Editorial Board criticized Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker and the City Council for supporting Mercy Culture Church’s plan to build a rehabilitation center for sex trafficking victims, particularly for Parker’s defense of religious liberty rights.
The editorial misunderstood the importance of protecting religious freedom, which allows individuals to follow their faith and prevents government overreach.

The Mayor’s defense aligns with legal precedent and constitutional rights, highlighting that government should not dictate how faith-based organizations practice their beliefs.
