According to a report, the Trump administration has taken an important step in implementing a new executive order with the objective of supporting Christian employees in the federal government, according to a report PoliticianAs part of this effort, the State Department has directed its employees to report examples of “anti -Christian bias” within the department. This step is an attempt to address alleged discrimination against Christians, but the officials of the State Department say it can create a culture of fear. The cable was sent to embassies around the world in the name of Secretary Marco Rubio from all over the world.
Executive order details
Executive orders issued in February serve with federal agencies fulfilling “anti-anxiety bias” from the government. To achieve this, the State Department has established a task force to collect information about “incorporating anti -religious bias during the last presidential administration”, paying special attention to the anti -Christian bias. Employees are encouraged to submit an anonymous report, providing as much expansion as possible, including names, dates and locations of events.
Task force and reporting mechanism
The task force, set to meet around 22 April, will discuss its preliminary findings. The reporting mechanism allows employees to submit suggestions through a form, which can be done anonymously. The process is to identify and address examples of anti-anti-prejudice, while for internal purposes also to collect examples of anti-religious bias in all forms.
Criticism and concerns
Some officials of the State Department have expressed concern about the initiative, describing it as “very ‘handmade tail’-sas”. He argues that this effort may be based on a flawless basis, assuming that the department prevents anti -Christian bias, and can create a culture of fear among employees. “Although the EO-Christian focuses on anti-Christian bias, it is discriminatory to target anyone for their religious beliefs and contrary to the Constitution” and has said in various federal laws, notices.
Intimate coalition reaction
Interfaith Alliance, a left-handed organization focused on religious freedom, has condemned the executive order. He argues that while the effort may appear to address a stigma against Christians, especially Catholic, it will eventually be used to legalize discrimination against groups of marginalized such as the LGBTQ community.
