The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has released new workplace enforcement guidance that threatens free speech and undermines privacy for female employees. The new guidance radically expands the definition of "workplace harassment" to include issues such as "gender identity" and so-called "religiously-motivated" harassment.
Among other things, the guidance suggests that gender-segregated bathrooms based on biological sex, the failure of employees to use "preferred pronouns" and religious-motivated discussions on issues such as abortion are forms of "harassment."
In other words, Christians are once again facing threats to our religious liberty and free speech rights. If you are pro-life or do not believe that men can become women, you could be found guilty of "harassment" for expressing your deeply-held religious views at work.
The EEOC is accepting public comments on this proposed new rule, and they need to hear from the American people. The public comment period ends Wednesday, November 1st. So, please speak up now!
Use this link to send your comments to the EEOC. Remember that these comments are public, so please be respectful and avoid including any identifying information or private details.
Tell the EEOC you oppose the "Proposed Enforcement Guidance on Harassment in the Workplace" (Agency Docket No: EEOC-2023-0005) because it unnecessarily infringes on free speech and religious liberty, and that the federal government should not be in the business of policing pronouns in the workplace.
Make it clear to them that female and male employees have a reasonable expectation of privacy in bathrooms based on biological sex, while concepts such as "gender identity" deny science and reality.
Tell them that discussions about issues like abortion are matters of free speech and not "harassment," subject to government regulation.
