US: Biden Team Reverses Trump Rule on Faith-Based Discrimination in Foster Placement
Imprint – November 30, 2021
The Biden administration has revoked a Trump-era waiver that exempted federally funded foster care providers in three states from following nondiscrimination rules. The federal Department of Health and Human Services earlier this month said it would revert to the Obama-era nondiscrimination policy in the three states – Michigan, South Carolina and Texas – bringing them back in line with the rules that apply to the rest of the states. That means faith-based foster care providers in the three states may no longer reject would-be foster parents merely because of their sexual orientation, gender identity or religion.
