As senators question Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, it’s vital that they ask him about his views on church-state separation – which is not only the linchpin of religious freedom, but also informs his views on many other crucial issues including reproductive rights, health care access, LGBTQ equality, and the rights of immigrants and religious minorities.

If you care about protecting public education and preventing public money from funding private religious schools, then you should be concerned about President Donald Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. Kavanaugh’s record indicates that he’s hostile toward church-state separation and would support private school vouchers.

Brett Kavanaugh seems to be oblivious to the important role secular public education – a system that welcomes all youngsters regardless of what they believe or don’t believe about religion – plays in our society.
