OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A spokesman for Gov. Brad Henry says the Baptist Messenger newspaper has apologized for attaching the governor's name to a contentious morality proclamation.
Rep. Sally Kern, an Oklahoma City Republican, led a rally this month in support of her proclamation.
The document says the United States is forsaking its Christian heritage to become a world leader in various forms of debauchery.
Kern is the lawmaker who drew national attention when she said homosexuality is a greater threat to the country than terrorism.
The Baptist newspaper printed Kern's proclamation and attached part of an old proclamation signed by Henry, making it look like the Democratic governor endorses the language in the document.
