Religious discrimination is hurting children waiting for homes in foster care.
Just after Easter, Colorado state senators passed a bill that will unconstitutionally discriminate against current and prospective Christian foster families.
The legislation declares minors in foster care, beginning at five years old, will be instructed annually that they’re entitled to “affirmative gender care” in the state’s foster system and from their foster family. Even more dangerous, it requires foster families to affirm a minor’s gender confusion no matter how deeply this requirement violates religious convictions.
Colorado is not alone in its hostility to Christian families eager to serve in the foster care space. In fact, 28 other states have enacted similar provisions.
Ironically, these bills are called “Child Welfare Nondiscrimination Laws” — a politically correct term that disguises the damage they threaten and ultimately impart. They’re neither in the best interest of a child’s wellbeing nor non-discriminatory.
