Court's Decision Could Impact Dangerous Senate Bill Print E-mail

Chai FeldblumThe Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled that Christian organizations were free to make hiring decisions based upon their religious beliefs. After being fired from a large Christian organization, three former employees sued because it was clear that they were discharged because of their religious convictions. The court’s ruling declared that religious organizations are exempt from  the 1964 Civil Rights Act. This allows private religious organizations to make hiring decisions based on religion.

 

But a dangerous bill is making its way before Congress soon. Authored by recently appointed chair of the Equal Employement Opportunity Commission, homosexual Chai Feldblum, the Employee Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), would threaten the hiring rights of all religious organizations, including churches. If passed, ENDA would force Christian ministries to hire non-Christians and others who live in defiance of biblical values and even opens the door for cross-dressing teachers in the classroom.

 

Help put an end to ENDA.

 

TAKE ACTION:

 

This dangerous bill is still in committee but could be brought before the Senate for a vote at any time. Contact your Senator today and urge that they vote against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, S. 1584.
