October 26, 2022 is the 265th anniversary of the birth of Charles Pinckney. Please raise a glass in his honor!!

Charles Pinckney (October 26, 1757 – October 29, 1824) was an American Founding Father, planter, and politician who was a signer of the United States Constitution. He was elected and served as the 37th governor of South Carolina, later serving two more non-consecutive terms. He also served as a U.S. Senator and a member of the House of Representatives

Why should we care? Because Pinckney introduced a clause into the Constitution in opposition to an established state religion. His No Religious Test Clause read as follows:

no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States

Once the inclusion of the phrase was brought to a vote, it passed with little opposition. For the first time, an official of a national government was not required to have a religion.

This is horrifying and shows the disconnect between radical white wing and mainstream Christianity.

07/11/2022

Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has abolished the constitutional right to an abortion, religious extremists are feeling as emboldened as ever. Abortion bans undermine religious freedom by attempting to impose one religious viewpoint on all of us.

That’s why on Wednesday, July 13 we want you to join hundreds of thousands of people across every state for the Bans Off Our Bodies Walkout, organized by our friends at Planned Parenthood!

The Bans Off Our Bodies Walkout is a national day of action that Americans United For Separation of Church and State is proud to support in order to amplify the fight for abortion rights and church-state separation. Please sign up to take action by clicking the link below:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc_OdnqC6wlsyNUBx3swi47byJqcsxtoQjqgH2r-vllvazMGQ/viewform

There are two ways to participate:

1. If you can, walk out from work on July 13 at 4:00 pm your local time. Participants will turn on an out-of-office message explaining that they left work early to call attention to abortion rights and post a graphic and caption to their social media about it.

2. Post a graphic and caption on your social media in solidarity with walkout participants and abortion providers on July 13 at 4:00 pm your local time.

We hope you will join in this mass action to tell the world we aren't backing down.

The end of Roe is not business as usual. Stripping people of their right to abortion will have dangerous consequences. This ruling harms people of all genders, incomes, and backgrounds — including workers, businesses, and the economy. It jeopardizes the future of work and each worker’s future. N...

How to indoctrinate students, 101. Florida gov. launches teacher initiative training
---------------------------------------------------------
Americans United for Separation of Church and State is launching an investigation into new Florida educational standards that reportedly promote white Christian Nationalism.

Gov. Ron DeSantis launched a Civics Literacy Excellence Initiative (CLEI) and Florida educators recently attended a three-day training session to learn how to teach students the new material. “There was this Christian nationalism philosophy that was just baked into everything,” one teacher told the Miami Herald, which broke the story.

The billion-dollar shadow network Americans United has been fighting in court and around the country seems to be involved in promoting the standards. Americans United’s investigation seeks to uncover the extent to which the training sessions were developed by the conservative Christian groups like Hillsdale College and the Koch-founded Bill of Rights Institute.

During the training, slides shown to teachers describing the new curriculum called facts about our nation’s history “misconceptions,” including that “The Founders desired strict separation of church and state and the Founders only want to protect Freedom of worship” and “The American colonies were characterized by religious intolerance … and there was no religious liberty in America until the First Amendment.” During breakout sessions, the state’s presenters reportedly highlighted the influence of Jesus Christ and the Bible in the country’s foundation. The training also whitewashed the role of slavery in American history.

In a public records request filed today with the Florida Department of Education, Americans United is demanding all documents, materials, contracts and audio or video recordings related to the CLEI trainings, and all department correspondence relating to the trainings, including communications with Hillsdale College.

Americans United President and CEO Rachel Laser said: “Americans United is considering all options. We’re not going to sit by while politicians smuggle white Christian Nationalism into public school curriculums under the guise of good citizenship. This is another attack in the long war religious extremists and their lawmaker allies have launched on our public schools, as is the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, which shamefully takes effect in Florida today.

“Our public schools suffered devastating blows at the Supreme Court over the last few weeks. First, the court forced Maine taxpayers to fund private religious education. Then, the court falsely described a coach’s coercive prayer as ‘personal’ and stopped public schools from protecting their students. In both cases, the court redefined the constitutional promise of religious freedom for all as religious privilege for a select few.

“The state shouldn’t be indoctrinating students into Christian nationalism, but educating them about the separation of church and state, which is embedded in our Constitution because the founders recognized it is the only guarantee of religious freedom for all. What we need right now is a national recommitment to the separation of church and state.”

Register for this virtual member briefing taking place the day after oral arguments at the Supreme Court. See backstory to this important case below.

Tuesday, April 26
7:30pm-8:30pm EDT
via Zoom

On April 25 AU’s Legal Director Richard Katskee will argue before the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of the school district in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District. This case is about a coach who violated the religious freedom of students by pressuring them to join his public prayers at the 50-yard line at public high school football games. We’re defending the school district, which did the right thing to protect its students when it stopped the coach from leading students in public prayer.

We want our members and supporters to be among the first to hear from us about the arguments. So we’re inviting you to a special virtual briefing on Tuesday, April 26.

Share your story with Americans United to help us protect everyone's First Amendment rights.

It's getting real. The facts in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District are clear: High school players felt pressure to join their coach's public prayers at the 50-yard line at public high school football games.

Here's the issue: No one at public schools should feel pressured to participate in religious activities. Whether you're a student or a faculty member, public schools are supposed to be inclusive and should not promote religion or compel anyone to take part in religious activities.

* Have you ever felt pressured to pray in public school or as part of a team? Did your public school coaches or teachers lead you in prayer?

* Have you ever felt discriminatedd against at your public school because of your religion?

* Were there teachers who assigned Bible readings or taught religious tenets like creationsim during science, history or health classes?

* Did your public school invite faith leaders to speak at assemblies or include prayers during graduations, sporting events or morning announcements?

* As a public school coach or educator, tell us how you have created a safe environment for all students regardlessw of their religion - so no one feels the need to "pray to play".

Please share your story with us!

The facts in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District are clear: High school players felt pressured to join their coach’s public prayers at the 50-yard line at public high school football games.

Our country’s foundational principle of church-state separation means that no one should ever have to choose between their religious freedom and being part of the team.

Join the Houston Chapter of AU for a webinar with Dr. Neal Jones.

6 pm Mountain, Monday, March 15th, 2021

In recent years, the Religious Right has resumed an old tactic--distorting the meaning of "religious freedom" in order to justify discrimination against groups they frown upon, including LGBTQ people, women, religious minorities, non-believers and others.

Dr. Neal Jones will discuss how religious extremists are asking state legislatures, Congress and the courts to legalize their bigotry. He'll suggest how we can stand up to those who would harm others in the name of religion.

Dr. Jones is chair of the board of trustees of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

He's been a plaintiff in two AU lawsuits: to prevent South Carolina from issuing state-sponsored Christian license plates and to end the Pennsylvania House of Representatives' policy barring nontheists from offering invocations to open House sessions.

Dr. Jones is a practicing psychologist in Asheville, NC and a Unitarian Universalist minister who has worked in clinical settings and served congregations in North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas.

Most Trump supporters probably aren't even aware of the more extreme Trump initiatives.....but this one is one of the more frightening ones.

If you're a parent, hoping to send your child to a public school, paid for with your tax dollars, and you want to be able to have some control over what faith your child is brought up believing in, good luck.

Trump hopes to use your public schools, and your tax dollars, to force your children to pray to whatever Christian faith is in the majority in your community.

And, almost without fail, that majority won't be Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, or any other minority faith. And if you happen to practice a more secular lifestyle, good luck.

We are rolling back the clock to the worst of times and all
our children will have to learn to conform, or they will be the target of incredible abuse. Prayer in school will become a tool to convert those of other faiths, and an excuse to harm those children who refuse to participate.

Here are some of the more abusive guidelines outlined in the piece below:

• The guidelines state that students have an absolute right to “attempt to persuade their peers about religious topics just as they do with regard to political topics.” Interpreted broadly, this rule could open the door to religiously based harassment and bullying. Equating religious speech with political speech also invites students to introduce religious topics into classrooms at times when it may not be appropriate.

• The guidelines imply that “student-initiated prayer” is permissible at school-sponsored events, a standard that has never been adopted by the Supreme Court.

• The guidelines cite a 1984 federal law known as the Equal Access Act to assert that student-led religious clubs may deny leadership positions based on religious or moral views. In fact, the Equal Access Act does not say that.

While Trump made a big deal about the release of the document, it was hardly the Earth-shattering move he portrayed it to be. Federal law requires that administrations periodically issue religion-in-public-school guidelines.

The US State Department promoting Christian Values (as opposed to other religious beliefs and values??).

If you practice ANY faith other than Christianity, or no faith at all, I'll bet this makes you feel all warm and fuzzy about the Trump administration.

I wonder when this administration will take an occasional moment to glance at the US Constitution?

“Secretary Pompeo cannot use his official position and government resources to proselytize and impose his faith on the rest of us – those are fundamental violations of the separation of religion and government,” said Rachel Laser, president and CEO of Americans United.

Mayor Dee Margo has violated the First Amendment, re separation of church and state, by issuing a city proclamation against abortion. Given that many religions and faiths have no moral strictures against abortion, and given that many support women's rights, Margo has done something blatantly unconstitutional. What is your response?
