In keeping with our "expanded focus" on all human rights, Jeri Ann put together this episode she calls "Christian Nationalism". Apparently, we were both educated at a time when "civics" or "social studies" classes taught things like how are nation came to be, and how our system of law and government came to be. And we have both been alarmed at the rise in influence of the so-called Christian Nationalist movement. Things like the state of Texas now requiring The Ten Commandments to be posted in every school in the state have us deeply concerned about this movement that wants to turn our system of law and government into a theocracy.
