Default AU: Bush's 'Faith-Based' Drug Plan Poses Serious Constitutional Problems
Administration Officials Tout Programs That Push Religious Conversion, Discriminate In Hiring

Quote:
On July 8, Bush Drug Czar Walters appeared in Riverside, Calif., at a "Teen Challenge" facility that relies on conversion to fundamentalist Christianity as its form of treatment. The group hires only evangelical Christians to staff its work. In testimony before Congress in 2001, a Teen Challenge official noted that some Jews who participate in the program convert to Christianity, becoming what he called "completed Jews." Many Jewish leaders found the term offensive.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Walters praised Teen Challenge, saying, "It is an honor to celebrate your miracles."
