Within her rights to send an Easter message, yes. Within her rights to expect all employees to be Christian by the details of that statement, no. Not just no, but fuck no. They really hate what the Establishment Clause actually means, don't they.
And here is evidence of that. Not just her, but her entire team is doubling down. Exactly what are they praying for? That the plaintiffs drop the suit and capitulate to the mandatory conservative Christianity? Certainly not that the plaintiffs remain healthy as the litigation proceeds and thoroughly punishes Rollins for her blatant constitutional violations.
Not quite a missionary. She doesn't see herself as bringing the gospel to heathens who haven't heard it before. More like a viceroy with the power to impose her beliefs as the only ones allowed.
"... the foundation of OUR faith?!?" Lady, you would do well to watch your language, particularly in your presumption that EVERYONE you're talking to believes as you do. THEY DON'T ... and one or more of them may take offense!
This reminds me a great deal of the city calendar I received several years ago which contained a very specific religious message promoting Christmas from a Christian viewpoint, without mentioning any other religious holiday in all its 12 month span. I consulted with my friends at the Northern Ohio Freethought Society and they agreed with me that it was a violation of The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. I wrote the mayor about it, indicating the improper nature of that calendars content and suggesting corrective action. To my great surprise, he agreed, and subsequent calendars issued by the city have been far more secular in their nature.
Somehow I get the feeling that Secretary Rollins will be nowhere near as responsive as the above mentioned mayor was. Might be time to give the FFRF a call.
There is no definitive evidence Jesus ever even existed, and although there are things attributed to him no one has any idea what he may have actually said. The foundations of Christianity are built of very thin stuff, and yet true believers never stop trying to share their delusions with others. It is NEVER the job of our secular government to backstop anyone’s religion.
Nosey, self-righteous Christians don't realize having religion shoved in someone's face can be triggering. The suffering it has caused some people is profound.
Not just triggering, but potentially resulting in legal action, stemming from her presumption on those who don't care for being proselytized via email!
Sounds like every Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, Muslim, Catholic and Jewish person on the list needs to respond with their own version of this christain leg pissing. Show this dimwit exactly why separation of church and State exists.
Sadly, I doubt that Secretary Rollins sees (or is willing to admit she sees!) anything wrong with Trump's actions as president. The fact is, she lives under the same Damoclean sword that every other Trump appointee does!
She sees Trump as God ordained to make America a mandatory Christian nation, therefore anything he does is God's will. Thus, she will shut down what's left of her conscience and cherry-pick her Bible to justify his actions.

Yup! I have the book, and I positively LOVE that it shows off both Yahweh and Jesus for what they are, using nothing other than THEIR OWN HOLY BOOK! 🤣🤣🤣
But when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites for they love to pray in public to be seen by men.
Exactly. Well stated.
I'm sick of Christian privilege.
Is she preaching, having authority over men and not being silent?
Sinful woman!

Lady, do you REALLY want to place yourself in a missionary position? 😉
Because she just can't be content to celebrate her faith in privae and has to bully others with it instead, undercutting her own savior's message.

A sign of a failing and declining cult: when you have to force your nonsense on others.
If xtianity had any merits (it doesn't since it promotes slavery, rape, violence, pillaging and murder) those merits would bring in new followers.
These assholes have frankly made me an atheist!

She works for the Antichrist. She needs to keep her mouth closed.
Hey, she should have no authority over a man anyway! 1 Timothy 2: 11-12 and 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, if I recall correctly!

TST should answer her as well.
Oh, HELL, yeah! That'll mess with her head!
Few to no employees would risk that, for fear of being fired. Which is kind of the legal point.
Anyone who willingly works for trump is a bad person, no exceptions. None of these so called secretaries serve the people, only the orange pedophile.
Her imaginary friend in the clouds has done nothing to protect this country's citizens from all the harm her real boss (the orange one) has done.
If the eye in the sky were real, Trump (a guy who thinks he IS a god) would have never ascended to power.

Any 'god' that supports trump, if such a god existed, would be a real piece of shit.
If the Abrahamic god did exist, he was a shit long before Trump came on the scene:

And as a near-direct result, she may find herself spending an inordinate (and UNNECESSARY!*) amount of time in courtrooms! 😝
* "Unnecessary" in that, if she had kept her yap shut, zero problem!
Hey Brooke, sound familiar?

Anybody want to tell her that her "day of rest" is from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday?
Seems she's not too familiar with her bible.
