VA Orders Staff to Report “Anti-Christian Bias,” Sparking First Amendment Concerns
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), under Secretary Doug Collins, has established a taskforce to investigate alleged anti-Christian bias within the department, soliciting reports from employees via a dedicated email address. This initiative, stemming from a broader Trump administration effort to address perceived anti-Christian sentiment in government, seeks reports on various issues, including informal policies, vaccine mandate exemptions, and responses to requests for religious exemptions from certain procedures. The email requests detailed information, including names, dates, and locations, for each reported incident. Critics have denounced this initiative as a partisan attempt to favor evangelical Christianity.
