An Augusta hospital has adopted a new policy banning Christmas carolers from singing religious songs in public patient areas.
The Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center announced the new policy Monday according to the Athens-Banner Herald.
“Military service
veterans, male and female, represent people of all faiths,” hospital
spokesman Brian Rothwell said in a statement according to Athens-Banner
Herald. “It is out of respect for every faith that The Veterans
Administration gives clear guidance on what ‘spiritual care’ is to be
given and who is to give it.”A group of high school students from Augusta’s Alleluia Community School were prevented from singing traditional holiday
songs that honor and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ to veterans by the medical center last week.
