A Trump Administration Commission Urges Building 'Bridges' Between Church and State
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A new report from a Trump administration commission advocates for building 'bridges' between church and state, challenging the long-standing separation principle in U.S. law. The draft, released by the U.S. Commission on Religious Freedom, suggests a stronger role for religion in government and public spaces, praising recent Supreme Court decisions that expand religious expression rights. It calls for the repeal of the Johnson Amendment, which restricts political activities of tax-exempt religious groups, and recommends compensating military personnel discharged for refusing COVID-19 vaccinations. The draft is open for public comment for 15 days and is expected to face opposition from groups favoring church-state separation.
