Urge Department of Education to Protect Campus Religious Freedom

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is urging people to contact the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) to request they preserve the important legal protections provided in the current regulations for individual students and religious student organizations so that students of all faiths will be welcome and can practice their faith on their public college campuses. 

The USCCB has asked that the Department preserve the current regulations because they provide commonsense protection for faith-based student organizations that have faced discrimination on many public college campuses for nearly four decades. By protecting students of all faiths, the existing regulations ensure that students of all religious faiths will be welcome on public college campuses. Rescission of these regulations will send a message to religious student groups that they are not welcome on public campuses.
