The White House issued guidance regarding prayer in\nschools, rules for agency dealings with religious organizations, and\ngrant-making<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WASHINGTON, D.C.\u2014On January 15, which President Trump\nproclaimed \u201cReligious Freedom Day,\u201d the White House rolled out some important\nguidance and proposed federal rules affecting religious liberty and federal\ndealings with religious organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, the White House announced that the Federal\ngovernment would be revisiting guidelines for the Department of Education that\nare supposed to be updated every two years but in fact have not been revised\nsince 2003. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The revision will make explicit that students\u2019 First\nAmendment rights, including their religious freedoms, are to be respected\nthroughout the Department of Education, and establish a procedure to reporting\nviolations. The changes come in response to several instances of religious\nsuppression in schools, including cases where a group of students was told they\ncould not pray in the cafeteria for an injured classmate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, the President\u2019s administration issued nine\nproposed rules for federal agencies to remove burdens placed on religious\norganizations that secular non-profits do not face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Grogan, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, explained in an <\/a>i<\/a>nterview<\/a> with The Daily Signal<\/em> that the new rules would overturn precedents from the Obama administration: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBasically what it said is anytime somebody goes to a faith-based organization for a service, they need to be presumed to be potentially offended by the religious nature of that organization. The religious organization needs to inform them that if they are offended by the religious nature of the organization, they can, they will find a secular organization for them to get the same service.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grogan pointed out that secular non-profits were not subject\nto similar requirements, even though their own ideological positions might be\nequally offensive to some clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the White House announced that the Office of\nManagement and Budget would be issuing a memo to all federal agencies that\nprovide grant money to organizations through the states that those agencies\nmust take responsibility to ensure that they states do not administrate the\nfunds in a way that is discriminatory against religious organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grogan described President Trump as deeply committed to\nallowing religious institutions in the public square:  \u201cHe\u2026 thinks that religious institutions have\na central role to play in America\u2019s civic life and the private lives of\nAmericans, too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
