It all started when one woman complained about Pastor Chris Hodges "liking" conservative tweets, including one that featured President Donald Trump. She said it was "culturally insensitive" and "troubling."

"I'm not saying he's a racist. I'm saying he likes someone who post things that do not seem culturally sensitive to me," local English teacher Jasmine Faith Clisby told the media.

One of the posts she found offensive was a meme with a photo with Donald Trump standing alongside Muhammad Ali and Rosa Parks back in the 1980's. The meme questioned those who accuse Trump of racism.

Then Clisby shared her concerns with the press.

Now the Church of the Highlands, a multi-racial church of 60,000 people, has been blocked from holding church services at two local high schools.
