Attorney General's Statement On 'Faith-Based' Job Bias Is Encouraging, Says Americans United
May 14, 2010


Attorney General Eric Holder told the House Judiciary Committee yesterday that the Obama administration does not support religiously based hiring discrimination in taxpayer-funded “faith-based” programs.

Americans United for Separation of Church and State said the statement is welcome and urged the Obama administration to back it up by revoking Bush-era executive orders that permit hiring bias by religiously affiliated social services that take public funds.

“We are encouraged that Attorney General Holder has reiterated the administration’s commitment to non-discrimination
