DENVER – Four Air Force second lieutenants officers have joined a lawsuit filed by a Jewish graduate of the academy, claiming senior officers and cadets at the Air Force Academy illegally imposed Christianity on others at the school.

The lieutenants, all graduates with the class of 2004, joined the suit filed by former Air Force officer, Mikey Weinstein, said Sam Bregman, Weinstein’s lawyer. He identified them as Casey Weinstein, one of Mikey Weinsten’s sons, Jason Spindler, Patrick Kucera and Ariel Kayne.
“Any argument that Mr. Weinstein didn’t have standing _ that argument is over,” Bregman said.
Weinstein’s federal suit said he had failed to win an assurance from the Air Force that Christian chaplains would stop proselytizing. The suit prompted a proposed new set of guidelines on religious conduct in the Air Force.
