Sen. Ted Cruz Cites ‘Religious Discrimination’ in US Military, Urges Defense Secretary to Take Action

August 4, 2020 by Staff

(CBN News) Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has sent a follow-up letter to Defense Secretary Mark Esper raising his concerns about “religious discrimination” in the Department of Defense (DOD) and how the department should address “its culture of hostility towards religion.”

“The Department must do better. It must take affirmative steps to stop those in its ranks from targeting religious individuals and violating the United States Constitution,” Cruz said in the letter, according to Fox News. 

The Texas senator specifically asked about the case of Christian Air Force veteran Jay Lorenzen, who was scheduled to speak at an annual training event for Marine Corps (USMC) JAG reservists last month. Lorenzen’s presentation was canceled after the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) voiced its reservist clients’ concerns that Lt. Col. Lorenzen’s comments would be influenced by his beliefs.
