Green backs faith-based discrimination

"In some cases, believe it or not, faith-based charities are unable to use religion as a factor when hiring new staff out of fear of losing the ability to use federal funds in their work. I think that’s wrong, and that’s why I’ve worked to try and make sure we extend equal treatment to faith-based charities when it comes to hiring new employees. We should not withdraw our support for these groups, or deny them civil rights protections just because they happen to embrace faith." -- Rep. Mark Green.

That quote caught my eye as one that deserved comment, but Eye On Wisconsin beat me to it and said it all.
