"House Speaker Mike Johnson's Unopened Christian Law School: A Missed Opportunity"
House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican congressman, was once the dean of a Christian law school that never opened its doors. The Judge Paul Pressler School of Law was intended to be a flagship achievement for Louisiana College, but it collapsed due to infighting, financial impropriety, and accreditation difficulties. While there is no evidence of Johnson's wrongdoing, this episode sheds light on his leadership challenges and ties to the Christian right. Johnson's pre-Congress resume includes work as a litigator for conservative Christian groups opposing gay rights and abortion, as well as pushing legislation that allowed discrimination for religious reasons.
