(Worthy News) – The Trump administration has issued a directive that protects religious freedom as a defense for federal contractors in situations where they’ve been charged with job discrimination.
The Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contractor Compliance Programs (OFCCP) issued the directive Friday. It instructs investigators to consider recent rulings by the US Supreme Court and executive orders from the White House that uphold religious freedom.
“In America, people and organizations don’t have to check their faith at the door in order to work with or for the federal government,” Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) said in a statement. “I applaud today’s (Friday’s) changes from the Department of Labor that ensure that faith-based organizations are welcome partners with the government to serve the American people.” [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
