What legal news does the episode open with and why does it matter?
Strict Scrutiny is brought to you by Americans United for Separation of Church and State. It's back to school season, and this year, 5 million children across Texas are going to be greeted by the Ten Commandments in their classrooms. Texas politicians passed a law requiring the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom, forcing their religion on every kid in those schools. 28 families in Texas, supported by Americans United for Separation of Church and State, are taking the fight to the Supreme Court. And we need you to amplify their voices before the Supreme Court gets its hands on this case. We've already talked about on the podcast how the Fifth Circuit decision allowing this practice was total BS.
I mean, it had to liken the Ten Commandments to basically like a poster, almost suggesting, oh, what, you triggered libs? But the reality is there's a human cost of Christian nationalist policies like these Ten Commandments laws. as well as the decisions the Supreme Court hands down. Public schools are supposed to be accessible to all. They're not supposed to be instructing on the state's preferred religion or the state's edited version of scripture.

Syksy on saapunut normaliin. Ja sitä on syytä juhlia. Pidämme siis ovet kiinni, sillä Tobleronen hinta voi viedä mennessään. Hinta euro 80. Säästän nolla euroa. Ja vaikka sataa kaatamalla, patiste kuivashampoon hinta on yhtä säänkestävä kuin aina ennenkin, ilman minkäänlaisia alennuksia. Pysyt myös kuivana kiitos Always Cityn nollan prosentin alennuksen. Joten antaa syyssäiden tulla. Normal. Pysyvästi edulliset hinnat. Oon tässä ja nyttä.

Mr. Chief Justice, may it please the court. It's an old joke, but when a man argues against two beautiful ladies like this, they're going to have the last word.
She said, I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet
Hello, and welcome back to Strict Scrutiny, your podcast about the Supreme Court and the legal culture that surrounds it. I am your host today, Melissa Murray, and the court is still on summer recess, which means that we at Strict Scrutiny are still keeping summer hours, which means that I am delighted to be joined by a fantastic guest host today. So please welcome Rashad Robinson. Hi, Rashad.
Hey, Melissa. It's great to be with you.
We are in the midst of greatness. Rashad is an expert political strategist, a media advocate, and the former president for the amazing change organization Color of Change. For over a decade, he designed and executed winning campaigns that shifted corporate behavior, reformed the criminal justice system, and advanced racial equality initiatives. And right now, he's on a book tour throughout the United States promoting his recently released book, From Presence to Power. There it is. How to take on the fights that matter and win. That's the important part. In the book, Rashad argues that visibility and having a seat at the table aren't necessarily sufficient. for true social change. They're good to have, but what you need is visibility, a seat at the table, and structural influence.
This book provides a practical framework for actually building that kind of structural influence and creating the opportunity for lasting systemic victories. All to say, I cannot think of a better person, Rashad, to join me today to break down this week's legal news and help us think about how we move beyond our current moment, because what a moment it is. Absolutely.
Absolutely. So good to be with you. It's so good to do this. Yes.
Okay, so here's what I have on tap for today, Rashad. We're going to start with us discussing some legal news, including the Trump administration's plan to use the IRS and tax-exempt status to resegregate American education. Because why not? Make America great again by going back to 1953.
