Protect Our Kids and Teachers from
Religious Discrimination!
UPDATE
After the Labor Day weekend when members of the House of Representatives return to Washington from their summer recess, they will vote on reauthorizing the historic Head Start pre-school program. At that time Representative John Boehner (R-OH) is planning to propose an amendment that would change current law to permit religious discrimination
in America's most successful federally-funded education initiative in history. If Congress adopts Representative Boehner's amendment: Children would lose beloved teachers and parent volunteers, with whom they have established trusting, emotional bonds. A dangerous precedent would be set. An individual’s religion, not merit or professional qualifications, would be the most important factor for these Tax-payer funded jobs. The Congressional recess is an important time to remind lawmakers about our concerns. Those who support this kind of religious discrimination are working hard this summer to get their agenda enacted into law when Congress returns. It is up to us to preserve the religious and personal freedoms that we often take for granted. Help us reach our goal of 25,000 e-mails to Congress
AND
Defeat this attack on our religious freedom! Tell Your Representatives to Vote Against
Religious Discrimination in the Head Start Program
