Lauren Boebert Calls Separation of Church and State 'Junk'Dismissing the separation of church and state as “junk,” Lauren Boebert said, “The church is supposed to direct the government. The government is not supposed to direct the church.” I've been thinking of starting a church. Sounds just like a person w/o a high school diploma. If she did she would know why ppl was afraid of jfk being president. Ppl thought the pope would tell him how 2 run the country n if she knew US history she would have known the 4 father’s want religious freedom. 1st amendment No. Or why just limit it to one belief system? A different religious leader can lead compulsory school prayers every day: a rabbi , an imam, a Wiccan, a Buddhist, Sikh, etc…. And every school board meeting, too.
