Separation of Church and State: What Does It Really Mean?

In this episode, I’m excited to be back with you to explore a major Supreme Court case that could shape how we interpret the separation of church and state in America. While much of the recent news has focused on education policy, especially President Trump’s executive order shifting control back to states and local communities, today we turn our attention to the judicial branch.

We’ll look closely at the upcoming case St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School v. Drummond, a case that has the potential to become a landmark decision. What’s at stake? What might this mean for public funding, religious schools, and constitutional interpretation moving forward? Let’s dig in.
