🚨Nebraska🚨 from the article –

“Lippincott’s “release time” bill, LB 550, is part of a national lobbying effort by a Christian education organization, Lifewise Academy, with populist right ties. It also indicates that a decades-old push to infuse more religion into schools still has a pulse in the Nebraska statehouse.

Some religious experts said Lippincott’s LB 550 would help “already privileged groups,” and a few lawmakers from both sides of the aisle shared concerns about blurring the line between church and state. A few said its passage could lead to the adoption of other religious bills. One GOP lawmaker who has proposed religious bills said LB 550 would just be the start.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Religious Studies Professor Max Mueller said the Family Alliance and other supporters of similar bills appear to want to blur the lines between church and state.

Mueller said this type of framing of a type of moral decline, known as declension narrative, has often been used throughout U.S. history.

“America is always losing its way, and most often it’s lost its way from its founding principles of this kind of Christian experiment … of Christians governing themselves,” Mueller said.”
