Palm Sunday and Easter Banned — Pride Month Promoted
One of the most shocking examples included an order for a Christian employee to delete social media posts celebrating Palm Sunday and Easter. At the same time, that same employee was told Pride Month posts were perfectly fine.
HUD leadership even directed its Public Affairs team to scrub Palm Sunday and Easter content from the agency’s official X account in 2023. Their excuse? “Potential violations” of the Establishment Clause. But when the same account pushed out content for Pride Month, Ramadan, and Diwali, not a single eyebrow was raised.
Bible and Cross Forbidden in a Cubicle
The report also exposed the ordeal of one HUD worker who faced repeated denials of promotion simply because of their Christian faith. Complaints were made over the fact that the employee kept a Bible and a cross in their cubicle — basic expressions of belief that should be protected under the First Amendment.
Incredibly, a supervisor went as far as warning others to “beware of [name redacted]” because of that person’s faith. It took a grueling 17-month battle through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission before the case was finally resolved.
Christians Silenced, Faith-Based Concerns Ignored
HUD Secretary Scott Turner responded to the report with a clear message: “Religious discrimination will not be tolerated — especially Anti-Christian bias that goes against America’s foundational values.”
Faith-based providers also raised alarms that were ignored under Biden. Shelters for women were pressured to accept biological men because of Obama-era “gender identity” rules revived during Biden’s term. Secretary Turner has since stepped in, halting enforcement of a controversial 2016 rule that undermined protections for female-only facilities.
White House Spins — But the Damage Is Clear
Even as the findings surfaced, Biden’s White House tried to dismiss the accusations. But spokeswoman Taylor Rogers gave away the game when she admitted to Fox News, “Joe Biden weaponized the full weight of the federal government against Christians and trampled on their fundamental First Amendment rights. Unlike Joe Biden, President Trump is protecting Christians, not punishing them.”
The targeting wasn’t limited to HUD either. According to Fox, “The Task Force found that the Department of Defense, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Department of Labor all ‘deprioritized, mishandled, or denied requests for religious exemptions to the Biden administration’s COVID-19 mandate.’”
Bottom Line
Joe Biden promised unity but delivered discrimination. Christians were told to hide their faith, delete their holy day celebrations, and sit quietly while other religions and ideologies were elevated.
Now, under President Trump and Attorney General Bondi, the federal government has pledged never again to turn its power against America’s faithful.
The report leaves no doubt: Biden’s HUD trampled on Christians, and only strong leadership is finally restoring religious freedom to its rightful place.
