FEMA worker tells faith based workers to change shirts

It goes like this. He's videotaping tornado cleanup and who's first on the scene? Salvation Army. So, even though faith based groups dominate in the "helping" projects, the government FEMA doesn't really want to admit that. So what does the guy do? He tells them to turn their shirts around because he doesn't want that in "his" (taxpayer paid by you and me) video. Michelle Malkin has all the details and commentary:

“He said, ‘We would like to ask you to change your shirt because we don’t want anything faith-based,’” Lott said Tuesday.

Lott said she asked him why he didn’t want to feature faith groups.

“All he said was, ‘We’ve done that hundreds of times,’”Lott said.
