More than half a dozen American public school students testified about anti-Christian and other faith-based forms of discrimination in an education-focused hearing conducted by President Donald Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission.
The Sept. 8 hearing was the commission’s second meeting since the president created it earlier this year. The commission’s inaugural meeting in June focused on broader threats to religious liberty stemming from federal, state, and local government actors and questions about the proper role of faith in public life.
The archbishop of New York, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, a member of the commission, made his first appearance at Monday’s hearing after missing the first hearing due to his train being canceled. He emphasized the importance of the commission’s work on education and broader concerns.
