WASHINGTON, DC – Concerned Women for America (CWA) commended the Department of Justice (DOJ) for investigating and exposing the anti-Christian bias and harmful actions taken against Christians during the Biden Administration.
“The Biden Administration weaponized the federal government against Christians, both domestically, by preventing Christians from fostering children, and internationally, by removing Nigeria as a country of concern, despite Christians being targeted. We are grateful that the Trump DOJ has identified and exposed the depth of the anti-Christian bias toward and persecution of Christians during former President Biden’s tenure. And we are glad the DOJ is working to rectify the anti-Christian policies so that Christians’ rights are protected,” said Penny Nance, CEO and President, Concerned Women for America.
In the extensive and well-documented DOJ’s Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias within the Federal Government report, several highlights include:
- The Biden Administration worked to prevent foster children from being placed with Christian families or Christian foster agencies on the grounds that they did not affirm LGBT lifestyles.
- The Biden Administration attempted to prohibit so-called “conversion therapy,” a.k.a. the ability for Christian counselors to counsel those struggling with homosexuality or gender dysphoria.
- The Biden EEOC interpreted the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act to mean that employers are required to accommodate an employee’s abortion, even if doing so would go against the employer’s religious beliefs.
- The Biden Administration used the Bostock decision to redefine sex-based discrimination under Title IX, issue agency-wide guidance related to “gender affirming” care, which many providers interpreted as having no religious exemptions, and, through the EEOC, to dismiss sincerely held beliefs as discrimination in hiring.
- The Biden Administration removed Nigeria from its list of countries of particular concern, despite the well-documented cases of Christians being raped, murdered, and tortured for their religious beliefs.
“We encourage the DOJ to follow through and work to restore that which was taken from Christians throughout the government, and to ensure this persecution does not happen by the federal government again,” said Nance.
