Trump gives religious groups more freedom on social services

-

President Trump signed an executive order Thursday restoring a Bushera initiative to get religious groups more involved in providing federally funded social services.

The order repeals Obama-era rules limiting groups getting federal funds from preaching to those they serve. Under the Trump order, groups will no longer have to refer beneficiar­ies who object to the religious teachings.
