Strict scrutiny is brought to you by Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

You don't destroy 250 years of secular democracy without gutting precedent, shattering norms, and dropping a few billion.

The same people in groups that backed Project 2025 are part of a larger shadow network that's relentlessly pushing to impose a Christian nationalist agenda on our laws and lives.

Church-state separation is the bulwark blocking their agenda.

One of the last bastions of church-state separation is our public school system.

So they're pushing vouchers everywhere.

They're arguing for religious public schools.

Yes, you heard that right, religious public schools at the Supreme Court in a case we've talked about on the podcast.

And honestly, probably in another Supreme Court case soon.

If you're listening to us, you're seeing the writing on the wall.

We can, we must fight back.

Join Americans United for separation of church and state and their growing movement because church-state separation protects us all.

There's a lot going on right now.

Mounting economic inequality, threats to democracy, environmental disaster,

the sour stench of chaos in the air.

I'm Brooke Gladstone, host of WNYC's On the Media.

Want to understand the reasons and the meanings of the narratives that led us here?

And maybe how to head them off at the pass?

That's on the media's specialty.

Take a listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Mr. Chief Justice, may it please support.
