A new civics training program for public school teachers in Florida says it is a “misconception” that “the founders desired strict separation of church and state.'

The Constitution explicitly bars the government from “respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Scholars interpret the passage to require a separation of church and state, per the Post.

There were official religions in some states, and it wasn't considered a violation of the constitution.

This Governor’s policies has a body count.

The only thing that is clear here is that DeSantis is, actually, pushing an ideological agenda

Horse pucky

The DeSantis disinformation campaign of the state has begun.

Nowadays which church Or cult I mean

It's true

I attended these trainings and pushed back against the persistent use of the word “misconception” by the facilitators to categorize history, basic facts (the Supreme Court is supreme) and political beliefs at odds with the GOP (socialism IS NOT the same thing as communism)

Liberty and Justice per Federalist Society God Fearing Law

Siri, show me the death of the idea of 🇺🇸. sigh

Nothing to see here. Just GovRonDeSantis plan to concentrate power in Tallahassee and micromanage every issue. Basically his blueprint for the nation when he runs for POTUS.

Read the Federalist Papers & Constitution...it's full of info. Separation of church & state is based on a letter from Jefferson intended to keep the state from creating an 'official' church. Consider that Congress has a chaplain & opens w/prayer...

Except for the fact that it plainly says so pretty much everywhere.

Yeah, what does Thomas Jefferson know about what the founders wanted?
