Gov. Henry McMaster allows foster care agencies in South Carolina to favor certain religions

https://www.postandcourier.com/politics/gov-henry-mcmaster-allows-foster-care-agencies-in-south-carolina/article_4ec95fd6-2700-11e8-8313-1b06c3f009a9.html

Gov. Henry McMaster is coming to the defense of an Upstate foster care agency that requires participating families to be Christian.

McMaster issued an executive order Tuesday that allows foster care providers to discriminate based on religion without losing their license.

For nearly three decades, Greenville-based Miracle Hill Ministries has only allowed foster children to be placed with parents who share the organization's Christian beliefs.

That practice has come under scrutiny since a new regulation took effect toward the end of the Obama administration, which prevented publicly licensed and funded foster care agencies from servicing specific religions.

Constitution haters take notice their "beliefs" are NOT sacred as far as a secular state is concerned.
