Federal employees are suing the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Secretary Brooke Rollins, accusing her of 'Christian proselytizing' after sending department emails on Christmas and holidays that they claim made references to Christian values and practices. The lawsuit claims Rollins' actions violated the Constitution's separation of church and state. Employees allege that Rollins' holiday messages, including one referencing the Bible's 'Season of Love', were intended to promote her personal faith over government business. The department has not commented on the allegations.
