It's offensive that a group such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission would attempt to place constitutionally guaranteed religious expression in the same category as legitimate sexual and racial harassment. This poorly crafted policy is so blatantly unconstitutional that even the left-leaning American Civil Liberties Union is critical of it.
{REST} If there are isolated cases of religious harassment, businesses are well-equipped to deal with them without illegal government interference.
Unless we start electing more God-fearing, moral-minded people to public office, there will be further left-wing appointees and further attempts to undermine all people's freedom.

\ Reading about the religion-free workplace (op-ed columnist Don Feder) really got to me. We have been given something else by Clinton that we don't need, or is the devil at work full time?
It's getting so you cannot even say ``good morning'' to anyone in public.
Some people don't get a chance to go to church, so learning something of the Lord in public is better than not hearing about him at all.
I think we can look to Washington for giving people rights to do a lot of things that have caused a lot of trouble in this world today.
