SB17 ensures that employers cannot discriminate based on religious beliefs. This bill would also ensure employees cannot be fired for statements they make about their own beliefs.
The Texas State Senate passed SB17 on April 3, 2019 by a vote of 19 to 12 We have assigned pluses to the ayes because religious discrimination against Christians is increasing, and this bill will help prevent that. U.S. President John Adams wrote, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People,” and attacks on Christianity and discrimination based on religious beliefs are not proper.
