Proselytize schmoselytize...
Daniel Zwerdling's story on Weekend Edition Saturday this morning illustrates the lack of regard for the Constitution that the Bush Administration has. Zwerdling profiles a Colorado faith-based social service program (Faith Partners) for mothers on welfare.I cringed as the christian "social workers" prayed with their clients, as they tried to take them to church, and the program's director spoke about their "covert religious mission."
Bush's faith-based program clearly gives federal money to religious groups who use that money to "witness" and to proselytize. That is what I would call state establishment of religion.
There is a simple solution for religious groups which would like to do this. They can run these programs and pay for them with their own money.
