Trump memo allows federal workers to persuade coworkers their religion is ‘correct’
UNITED STATES, JUL 28 – The Office of Personnel Management issued guidance ensuring federal employees can display religious items, pray publicly, and discuss faith without fear of reprisal, citing constitutional protections.
- The Office of Personnel Management issued a memo on Monday allowing federal workers to express and promote their religion at work, including persuading coworkers of their faith.
- This guidance follows President Trump's February executive order aiming to protect religious freedom and end anti-Christian bias, establishing a related task force and commission.
- The memo permits activities such as praying over patients, displaying religious items, and inviting coworkers to religious services as long as these do not disrupt operations or become harassment.
- OPM Director Scott Kupor emphasized that federal employees are permitted to have respectful conversations with colleagues about their religious beliefs and may attempt to convince others of the validity of their faith, while agencies are required to support religious expression as much as possible.
- The guidance reinforces constitutional and Title VII protections for religion, suggesting a federal workplace more welcoming to faith expression but raising concerns about favoring certain religions.
