I am speaking out about President Barack Obama’s statements regarding staffing practices for faith-based organizations. I am very concerned.
From the beginning, the President has made it explicitly clear that he advocates government-imposed hiring standards for religious colleges and other faith-based organizations. Such state intrusion cannot help but lead to government control of what ideas can and can’t be taught on our campuses. The bottom line is that state-imposed hiring practices and the corresponding truncation of religious expression should cause all universities that are Christian, Jewish or otherwise religious, to be concerned for their very existence.
