To the editor: Until now, the Veterans Department has dressed in its non-partisan mission to meet the needs of the veterans, but the secretary of the VAS Doug Collins has disseminated an email on the level of the department which requested allegations of reporting of anti-Christian bias, including the criticisms of those who ask for religious exemptions under the previous vaccine mandates (“Veterans ask employees to report” anti-Christian prejudices “to investigate a new working group”, “ April 23).
This alone is contrary to science and aggravates the health and preparation of the military. The memo did not ask for feedback on all religious biases, only the dominant group, thus attaching the State to a faith by supporting a single point of view. This policy would be eccentric at first glance if it was not as divisor, exclusive and dangerous.
This activity seems to be a violation of the 1st amendment, which prohibits the domination of a religion over all the others. It is not enough that the combo president Trump / Elon Musk plans to cut 80,000 jobs Va non -supporter, offering fewer services to those who need it, but now they also want to insert an unconstitutional religious bias.

To the publisher: Christians are almost two -thirds of the American populationYet they fear anti-Christian prejudices? The separation of the Church and the State was not only established to keep the government outside the churches, but to keep the churches outside the government. This is eroded by the current administration.

To the publisher: I do not know why the AV is so alarmed by anti-Christian discrimination. The last time I looked at, my community is full of active and flourishing Christian churches. I am aware that the Trump administration is frightening obsessed with all that is LGBTQ +. I know many people in the Queer community who are Christians.
