US EditionTrump Administration Allows Federal Workers to Promote Religious Beliefs | News Channel 3-12
UNITED STATES, JUL 29 – The guidance permits federal workers to discuss religion, display religious items, and form prayer groups while maintaining workplace productivity and preventing harassment, OPM said.
- On Monday, the Office of Personnel Management issued guidance requiring federal agencies to protect employees' religious expression, including prayer, displays, and discussions.
- Following prior executive actions, Kupor’s July 16 memo encourages a 'generous approach' to religious expression, amid broader Trump administration policies, including the Religious Liberty Commission.
- Beyond traditional work duties, federal employees can display religious symbols and post invitations on communal bulletin boards, as permitted by new guidance.
- Opponents criticized the guidance; the source does not mention any criticism from the Freedom From Religion Foundation or Annie Laurie Gaylor.
- Under Title VII, federal courts may review Kupor’s memo, which is not legally binding, as EEOC warns that 'proselytizing can become unlawful harassment' if unwelcome.
