Veterans Affairs Agency Urges Employees To Report ‘Anti-Christian Bias’
HuffPost
The Trump administration is working hard to portray Joe Biden, a practicing Catholic, as an agent of “anti-Christian discrimination.”
The Department of Veterans Affairs told employees Tuesday it was creating a task force on “anti-Christian discrimination” and urged them to report any such incidents involving co-workers over a tip line.
The program at the VA is part of a broader effort by the administration to portray anti-Christian sentiment as somehow rampant under President Donald Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden, a practicing Catholic. Trump signed an executive order in February alleging an “egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians” under the previous administration.
In the Tuesday memo shared with HuffPost, VA Secretary Doug Collins provided an email address, ChristianBiasReporting@va.gov, and encouraged agency employees to submit “any instance of anti-Christian discrimination.”
“Submissions should include sufficient identifiers such as names, dates and locations,” Collins wrote.
Collins said the agency is fishing for “adverse” or “retaliatory” actions taken due to someone’s Christianity, including “mistreatment or reprimand in response to displays of Christian imagery or symbols,” or punishment for seeking a religious exemption to a vaccine requirement for federal workers.
