Protect against Title IX and submit a comment by September 12, 2022.

The US Department of Education released their proposed changes to Title IX regulations that would dramatically change the future for women and girls in federally funded activities and programs. There are many negative impacts that will harm girls, women, and families.

A government portal has been set up for you to make a comment submission.  It is very straight-forward and easy to do.  In addition, this governmental body is required to read every submission, large and small – before they can finalize the new “Rule.”  So rest assured, your input will be read and considered.

TAKE A STAND TODAY

We asked our UFI readers this question:

True or False:  “Freedom of Religion” and “Freedom of Worship” are just different ways of saying the same thing.

This is how our readers responded:

True             13 Percent    

False            87 Percent

Although those two phrases seem very similar, they are in fact quite different.  The vast majority of our readers do know the difference.  Those who have switched the dialogue from “Freedom of Religion” to the watered down “Freedom of Worship” are the same people who desire to remove all vestiges of religion from the public square.

People of religious faith and commitment know that freedom of religion is about far more than just showing up weekly at the chapel, cathedral, synagogue or mosque to worship.  Religious freedom and expression includes the way you dress, the opportunity to speak about your faith openly, to preach and evangelize, and to engage in the political process on initiatives that are important to you as a religious person.

Any attempt to protect only the “freedom of worship” is a step toward banishing religious expression outside of a church setting.   Don’t allow Religious Freedom to be compromised by those who would make the rhetorical shift to “Freedom of Worship.”

It’s freedom of ‘religion,’ Mr. President
