Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss the ongoing debate between freedom of religion and freedom from religion. As secularization increases in public spaces, including schools, are we preserving religious liberty or suppressing it? How do misconceptions about religious expression impact students and educators?
In the second segment of the show, we examine the legal battle Dier v. Landry, where Louisiana’s new law requiring Ten Commandments displays in classrooms is facing legal challenges. Does passive religious symbolism in public schools uphold tradition, or does it violate the First Amendment?
