Trump's Commission: Push for Religious Liberty, Church-State Blend

Trumps Religious Liberty Commission, dominated by conservative Christian backers, is crafting a final report with ambitious proposals. These include a Presidential Medal for a baker who refused a same-sex wedding cake, Justice Department help for Amish parents battling vaccine rules, and support for nuns challenging gender identity mandates. The panel also advocates for more religious expression in public schools, faith-based groups receiving public funds, and broad exemptions from labor laws, classroom lessons, and health mandates. Critics argue the panel risks blurring the line between church and state, with a lawsuit alleging lack of diverse voices. The commissions chair, Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, calls the church-state split a lie, urging restored military benefits for vaccine refusers and legal fee shifts. The reports completion could significantly reshape religious freedoms nationwide.
