Up to 57 policy amendments were drafted by 55 departments under the Biden administration, all seeking to track federal employees who are requesting different types of exemptions to COVID vaccines, the Liberty Counsel Action (LCA) has found.
On Thursday, the government watchdog reported that some of the rules apply to COVID vaccine exemptions while others track all exemptions, such as when a federal worker or applicant seeks exemption from working on the Sabbath or Sunday. Some policies even track visitors to their buildings or events.
According to CBN News, there are variations between the 57 policies, but critics have raised concerns over the policy’s invasive privacy violations by the federal government. Through these policies, the federal government will be able to record and permanently store religious and medical data on employees who seek exemptions.
The LCA reported that according to the Treasury Department’s Office of Civil Rights and Diversity, their database will document all religious exemption requests and denials and will also track “information about a requestor’s religious beliefs” and “informal dispute resolution” of each individual. It will also record “correspondence” and “records of oral conversations” of each person who seeks an exemption. The database is set to track all federal individuals from “pre-employment, during current or former employment or for attendees at a particular event.”
Meanwhile the largest military branch, the U.S. Army will not only record “religious preference,” but will also capture biometric data such as fingerprints and digital photographs, which are often already submitted once a person enlists.
The 55 federal agencies that currently have rule changes include the Department of the Army, Department of Defense, Homeland Security Department, Department of Labor, Department of the Treasury, Office of Civil Rights and Diversity, Department of the Interior, Federal Reserve System, Federal Trade Commission, United States Commission on Civil Rights, National Transportation Safety Board, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Transportation, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Peace Corps, and more.
Fox News reported that in January, Republican Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina introduced a bill called the “Religious Freedom Over Mandates Act,” which would “prohibit federal funds from being used ‘to establish, operate, maintain, or support any system of records for individuals who seek a religious exemption from a federal COVID-19 vaccine requirement.”
Rep. Norman’s proposal came after the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) for the District of Columbia, a federal entity, announced a system recording “personal religious information” of federal employees who sought religious exemptions to the COVID vaccine mandate. Rep. Normal argued, “The ability for individuals to openly practice their faith without fear of retribution is a precious right we must guard closely.”
Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson of Iowa backed Rep. Norman’s proposal, saying that any type of database that tracks people’s religious beliefs “flies in the face of our First Amendment” and that “U.S. citizens are guaranteed the right to make their own medical decisions without fear of government reprisal.”

Across the country in at least a dozen states, Democrats are blocking bills that would require curriculum transparency in public schools. The teachers claim that giving parents access to their children’s learning materials online could lead to censorship and backlash against educators.
Parents are already entitled to request their child’s curriculum if they attend a public school, but there’s no requirement to post it online. Republicans in at least 12 states have introduced legislation that would require schools to post all teaching materials online, including what books, videos, and articles will be covered.
Teachers claim that parents who object to what their children are being taught might censor materials they don’t want their children to learn.
A Missouri bill sponsored by Republican state Rep. Doug Richey would do just that, but Democrats say curriculum transparency bills would only further embolden parents to censor certain materials and training, like those pertaining to critical race theory (CRT) – a framework that involves deconstructing aspects of society to discover systemic racism beneath the surface.
Richey’s bill, dubbed the Parents’ Bill of Rights, would also require schools to allow parents receive notifications whenever a teacher intends to teach a “divisive or controversial topic” that may conflict with a “parent’s belief that all persons, regardless of race, ethnicity, color, national origin, or ancestry, should be treated equally.”
“Parents have a fundamental right, responsibility and authority when it comes to their children,” Richey said to committee members Tuesday, FOX 2 reported.
The ACLU, which has championed transparency in government since its founding more than 100 years ago, has suddenly decided transparency ain’t such a good thing.
Emerson Sykes, staff attorney in the ACLU Speech, Privacy and Technology Project, reiterated the ACLU’s position to Fox News Digital last week, saying the organization is “actively pursuing litigation to block” curriculum transparency bills.
“Government bodies should always strive for transparency, and the ACLU supports any good-faith effort to make public education as transparent as possible to parents and communities,” Sykes said. “But some of these so-called ‘curriculum transparency bills’ are thinly veiled attempts at chilling teachers and students from learning and talking about race and gender in schools. Their sponsors have said as much.
There is, in fact, a legitimate point to be made. In the rush to prevent CRT from being taught in schools and prevent the promotion of the idea of “gender fluidity” at the expense of science, valuable historical lessons may be given short shrift, and some teachers may feel pressured not to teach about some legitimate subjects for fear of being in violation of a law that’s been drawn too broadly.

What’s required in this situation is cooperation, not combat. If teachers want to teach using a political agenda as a template, they should go somewhere where that sort of teaching is tolerated. But most parents don’t want their children brainwashed by either the right or the left. They want the people teaching their children not to engage in propaganda for the sake of advancing a political party or candidate.
The simple fact is, the parents don’t trust many teachers or their unions or the school boards that approve the curriculum. Until that trust is somehow reestablished, addressing the issue intelligently won’t be possible.
