"House Speaker Mike Johnson's Controversial Stance on Christian Speech and Religious Traditions"
House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, has a history of defending Christian speech and activities in public schools. Prior to his role in Congress, Johnson worked as a senior attorney for Alliance Defending Freedom, a legal group focused on promoting evangelical Christian values. He took up several lawsuits aimed at challenging the separation of church and state, including cases involving prayer sessions, Christian songs, and teacher-led prayer groups in public schools. Critics argue that Johnson's background raises concerns about his stance on the First Amendment and the separation of church and state.
