Dave Fenichel<p>"Across eight decades, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed and reaffirmed the unconstitutionality of religious indoctrination in public schools. In McCollum v. Board of Education (1948), it ruled that religious instruction in public education buildings during the school day violated the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause. In Engel v. Vitale (1962), the court concluded that public prayer in schools did the same. Later rulings — in Lee v. Weisman (1992) and Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe (2000) — extended the ban on public prayer beyond the school day to graduations and athletics, respectively... Following Trump’s first-term conservative makeover of the Supreme Court, however, the nation’s highest court has signaled an interest in revisiting these issues. This has emboldened MAGA leaders in various states to start breaching the wall of separation between church and state, particularly at the K-12 level."</p><p><a href="https://www.theunpopulist.net/p/trump-is-not-taking-the-state-out" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theunpopulist.net/p/trump-is-n</span><span class="invisible">ot-taking-the-state-out</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/indoctrination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indoctrination</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/MAGAindoctrination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGAindoctrination</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/perversionOfFaith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>perversionOfFaith</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/churchState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>churchState</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>religion</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/christianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>christianNationalism</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/uspolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspolitics</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/uspoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspoli</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/k12" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>k12</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/concentrationOfPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concentrationOfPower</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/publicDismantlement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publicDismantlement</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/theDismantlement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theDismantlement</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/democide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>democide</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/publicSchools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publicSchools</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/teachers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>teachers</span></a></p>
