From CFI:
The Center for Inquiry is concerned that legislation reauthorizing the effective Head Start preschool program may be amended by repealing provisions that prohibit religious organizations and churches from discriminating on the basis of religion when hiring or firing employees for government-funded positions. Such an amendment is unnecessary, harmful, and imprudent. Moreover, it would needlessly jeopardize the legality of government funding for various Head Start organizations. In particular, government-supported religious discrimination would violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
