For these groups the Wolf-Specter bill is the way to do it. The bill is overly narrow in defining religious persecution, it uses sanctions as an automatic first resort, places too much emphasis on unilateral actions instead of multilateral actions, it creates a hierarchy of human rights abuses where persons seeking asylum form religious persecution are given more favorable treatment than those seeking asylum from persecution been based upon race or ethnicity, political views, gender, etc. It transfers the responsibility of monitoring religious persecution from the State Department to the White House. Free Exercise of Religion After the Supreme Courts decision striking down the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, we still urging all United Methodist who stand together with the Church to continue to work for the States to provide full protection for the exercise of religion. In The Schools We continue to advocate for a fair treatment of religion in the public schools.
Religion does have a role in American life and the schools are part of that life.
