I live in Virginia and there was recently a vote in the state assembly to allow for a prayer or invocation to proceed government events. It passed. The bill claims to be non-denominational, but the spiritual leaders would be invited by the regulatory body, and only those invited can be considered. It seems to me that this is a way to discriminate or open the door to discrimination. Is this something that your organization sees often? And is it something you would consider taking action against?
I have contacted my delegate that voted in favor of the bill and expressed my thoughts, but I doubt anyone else in my district will.
