Is “charitable choice” bad for public policy?
Yes, without the safeguards discussed above. Otherwise, “charitable choice” might allow for government-subsidized employment discrimination. Since religious institutions are exempt from the nondiscrimination requirements of Title VII and other anti-discrimination laws, “charitable choice” may allow a recipient of government funds to refuse to hire someone on the basis of religion.
