The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) released a memo outlining new guidelines for employees that wish to convince their coworkers of the "correctness" of their personal religious beliefs. The memo was developed in conjunction with the White House Faith Office, which is a new office established by President Donald Trump in February. The memo directs all departments and agencies to not enact disciplinary actions against all religious demonstrations in federal offices, "including attempting to persuade others of the correctness of their own religious views, provided that such efforts are not harassing in nature," the memo reads. This includes the displaying of Bibles, religious artwork, and posters with religious messaging. |
