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 and 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 pod, that the court narrowly avoided deciding, but

we'll surely find an opportunity to do so in the future. 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.

She said, I ask no favor for my sex.

All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our legs.
