A Trump Administration Commission Urges Building 'Bridges' Between Church and State
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A new report from a Trump administration commission suggests replacing the concept of separation of church and state with the idea of building bridges between them. This proposal, included in a draft report from the Commission on Religious Freedom, advocates for a stronger role of religion in government and public spaces. The 224-page draft applauds recent Supreme Court decisions that expand religious expression rights and recommends eliminating the Johnson Amendment, which restricts political activities of tax-exempt religious groups. It also calls for federal agencies to promote awareness of religious rights and proposes new awards recognizing religious freedom. The draft is open for public comment for 15 days and is expected to face opposition.
