House of Representatives OKs Discrimination in Head Start Programs

@ 08:28 PM (35 months, 13 days ago)

The House of Representatives has esentially voted to give the OK to potential discrimination in the hiring practices of Head Start centers.

The House says Head Start programs can consider someone's religion when considering potential new hires.  Churches and other faith-based school centers can hire only those they feel share their religion, even though they receive federal money.

What's next? Allowing someone to not hire me because I'm African-American?

  1. I think that the Church of Rastafarri should make a text book, and submit it for a class. Perhaps the same class.
    After all, it was partially created by missionaries of GOD.
    I think the kids out in the suburbs and rural areas should learn all about it...
