🚨 YOU JUST USED A GOVERNMENT PLATFORM TO PROMOTE A CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS PROGRAM.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd held up a LifeWise Academy mug during an official “Morning Briefing” and promoted a program that removes public-school students during the school day for Bible instruction.

Then came the unbelievable part:

“I don’t know the details.”

Sir.

You are speaking from an official Sheriff’s Office platform.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THE DETAILS BEFORE YOU USE A GOVERNMENT PLATFORM TO SHILL FOR IT.

This is exactly how the normalization of Christian nationalism happens: the boundaries between government authority, public education, and one particular expression of Christianity get treated like they simply don’t matter.

LifeWise doesn’t need the Polk County Sheriff’s Office doing its advertising.

And the government has no business doing it.

“I don’t know the details” doesn’t make this better.

It makes it worse. Polk County Sheriff’s Office #ChristianNationalism #indoctrination #secularism #LifeWiseAcademy #churchandstate #publicschools

    Sheriff Grady Judd holds up the LifeWise Academy mug, describes the program, and then says:

    “I don’t know the details, but call them up and check it out.”

    That’s precisely the problem.

    This wasn’t posted by a church.
    It wasn’t posted by LifeWise.
    It wasn’t posted on his personal page.

    It was posted by a government office.

    Watch it yourself. Screenshot below. 👇

  • Facebook User:
  • Facebook User: How much did he earn from that little commercial?
  • Facebook User: Separation of church and state!!!
  • Facebook User: “I don’t know the details…” THEN IT’S OK TO JUST NOT COMMENT ON IT.
  • Facebook User: Especially risky when the folks he’s promoting don’t use serious background checks. His reputation is on the line when they’re found to be harming youngsters.
  • Facebook User: Whoa. Creepy. Very, very creepy.
