Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss the controversy surrounding a North Carolina senior apartment complex banning the word “Bible” from community advertisements. Is this a case of religious discrimination or an effort to maintain neutrality? We explore the legal and ethical implications under the Fair Housing Act, the broader trend of faith-based censorship, and what this means for religious expression in shared living spaces.
In the second segment of the show, we explore the court case Hunter v. U.S. Department of Education, where activists sought to block students from using federal tuition assistance at religious colleges. The 9th Circuit upheld the Title IX exemption protecting faith-based schools, affirming their right to operate according to religious beliefs. We examine the legal arguments, implications for higher education, and the ongoing debate over religious liberty and federal funding.
About the Show: Faith & Politics is a show dedicated to discussing issues surrounding the intersection of Church, State and politics and the examination of whether you are allowing your faith to shape your politics or your politics starting to shape your faith. What do you do when God and government come face to face?
