Ten Commandments Get Another Look

Louisiana Mandates Ten Commandments in Classrooms, Sparking Debate Over Morality in Schools
Louisiana's new law requires displaying the Ten Commandments in classrooms, sparking outrage from the Left, who view it as a step toward theocracy.

Redefining America’s Founding: According to Neo-Marxists
In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer shares that radical secularists (today's neo-Marxists) have been attempting to rewrite America's founding, to erase religion (specifically, Christianity) for a very long time. Bauer plays clips from a speech delivered by President Ronald Reagan held at a Dallas, Texas, prayer breakfast in 1984. Spoiler alert! President Reagan takes these attacks from the Left masterfully head-on. Shredding them by root and branch, the President brought the 17,000 attendees to thunderous ovations again and again. You may want to listen to this podcast more than once.
