I have not fact-checked the story and I don't know about ACLJ's partisanship. Having said that, this is not the first time we are hearing of cases such as this one where students have been barred from praying in schools.

republican state rep in washington calls for christian jihad:

Rep. Matt Shea takes credit, criticism for document titled ‘Biblical Basis for War’
http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2018/oct/26/rep-matt-shea-takes-credit-criticism-for-document-/

Quote :

"Washington state Rep. Matt Shea acknowledged Wednesday he had distributed a four-page manifesto titled “Biblical Basis for War,” which describes the Christian God as a “warrior,” details the composition and strategies of a “Holy Army” and condemns abortion and same-sex marriage. The document is organized in 14 sections with multiple tiers of bullet points and a smattering of biblical citations. Under one heading, “Rules of War,” it makes a chilling prescription for enemies who flout “biblical law.” It states, “If they do not yield – kill all males.”"

US women detained for speaking Spanish sue border agency

Quote :

"LOS ANGELES: Two US women detained by a border patrol agent in the state of Montana after he heard them speaking Spanish in a grocery store have sued the country’s border protection agency. Video of the incident — which took place last May in the small town of Havre — showed Agent Paul O’Neal tell Ana Suda and Martha Hernandez that he had asked to see their identification as it was unusual to hear Spanish speakers in the state, which borders Canada. “It has to do with you guys speaking Spanish in the store in a state where it’s predominately English speaking,” he said. “It’s not illegal, it’s just very unheard of up here,” he told the women. The American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday filed suit against US Customs and Border Protection on behalf of the women, who live in Havre. Suda and Hernandez say in the lawsuit that O’Neal detained them for 40 minutes. California native Hernandez and Suda, who was born in Texas, said they were standing in line to buy milk and eggs when the agent — who was standing behind them — commented on Hernandez’s accent, and asked the women where they were born. “I asked, ‘Are you serious’?” Suda said, according to the lawsuit. “Agent O’Neal responded that he was ‘dead serious’.” The two women say they were then asked to show identification and questioned outside the store, before eventually being released. “The incident itself is part of a broader pattern that we’ve seen of abusive tactics by border patrol which has gotten worse since the Trump administration, which has left border patrol officers feeling emboldened to take actions like this,” Cody Wofsy, an attorney with the ACLU, told AFP. “This has been devastating for (Suda and Hernandez),” he added. “Havre is a small town, they felt ostracized and humiliated and made to feel unwelcome in their own town and in their own country.” He noted the United States has no official language, with Spanish by far the most common language spoken after English. A Customs and Border Protection spokesman declined to comment on the case. “As a matter of policy, US Customs and Border Protection does not comment on pending litigation,” he told AFP in a statement. “However, lack of comment should not be construed as agreement or stipulation with any of the allegations.”"

Awesome!

Quote :

"The U.S. Supreme Court handed school choice advocates a major victory on Tuesday. By a 6-3 vote along ideological lines, the court opened the door further for those seeking taxpayer funding for religious schools. In its clearest statement to date, the court said that if a state uses taxpayer money to pay for students attending nonreligious private schools, it must also use taxpayer funds to pay for attendance at religious schools. For all practical purposes, the decision thus invalidates provisions in 37 state constitutions that ban the direct or indirect use of taxpayer money in religious schools....."

Trump allies prepare to infuse 'Christian nationalism' in second administration

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/20/donald-trump-allies-christian-nationalism-00142086

Quote :

"One document drafted by CRA staff and fellows includes a list of top priorities for CRA in a second Trump term. 'Christian nationalism' is one of the bullet points. Others include invoking the Insurrection Act on Day One to quash protests and refusing to spend authorized congressional funds on unwanted projects, a practice banned by lawmakers in the Nixon era... Vought has promoted a restrictionist immigration agenda, saying a person's background doesn't define who can enter the U.S., but rather, citing Biblical teachings, whether that person 'accept[ed] Israel's God, laws and understanding of history.'... The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 offers more visibility into what policy agenda a future Trump administration might pursue. It says policies that support LGBTQ+ rights, subsidize 'single-motherhood' and penalize marriage should be repealed because subjective notions of 'gender identity' threaten 'Americans' fundamental liberties.'"

Eh, Billy Graham was undoubtedly a cultural icon, and he had ties to do many presidents. He was also fairly mainstream and generally apolitical. I'm not particularly troubled by this. If they put up Joel Osteen, Falwell, or others of their ilk, I could see room for complaints.
