Employees of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the union representing the agency's workers are suing the secretary of the deparment over a series of emails promoting Christianity. The workers and the National Federation of Federal Employees alleged in a federal complaint filed Wednesday that Secretary Brooke Rollins "has adopted a practice of sending increasingly proselytizing communications to the entire USDA workforce, promoting her own preferred brand of Christian beliefs and theology."

"They share one thing in common," he wrote. "Plaintiffs do not wish their children to be pressured, to observe venerate, or adopt the religious doctrine contained in the Ten Commandments."
