Box 860299, Ridgewood, N.Y. 11386-0299 Religious Bias Voted Out Of U.S. Freedom Commission Aims To Stop Workplace Discrimination The House Foreign Affairs Committee approved legislation sponsored by Rep. Grace Meng that would prohibit the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) from discriminating against people’s religion. The measure, which was attached to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Reauthorization Act (H.R. 4653), would bar any form of employment discrimination by USCIRF on the basis of religion. It passed by voice vote. “This legislation is very fitting for a Commission that’s devoted to combating violations of religious freedom,” said Meng. “It is also appropriate given the sensitivities regarding which violations of religious freedom around the world the Commission chooses to focus on. My hope is that this amendment will help ensure the diversity, credibility, and strength of the Commission for a long time to come.“ The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Reauthorization Act, which renews funding for the organization, now heads for a vote by the full House of Representatives. It was passed by the committee on June 26. The USCIRF is an independent bipartisan commission created by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 that seeks to combat religious persecution around the world.
