Show notes:
In the first segment, we discuss a recent Pew Research Center report showing that while many Americans recognize religion’s declining influence in public life, a strong majority still view religion as a positive force. Hawkins and Krause debate how recent legal victories, like the Bladensburg Peace Cross case, are bolstering religious expression in the public square, despite this cultural shift.
In the second segment, we explore Uzuegbunam v. Preczewski, a pivotal Supreme Court case where a college student’s right to free religious expression was defended. Chike Uzuegbunam’s ordeal highlights the challenges faced by students navigating restrictive campus policies. The panel examines how this case impacts free speech and religious liberty across educational institutions.
