We celebrate the anniversary of the January 16, 1786, adoption of Jefferson\u2019s Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom and the January 17, 1706 birthday of Benjamin Franklin, who opposed public funding for education. FFRF attorneys Patrick Elliott\xa0and Sam Grover\xa0describe the questions we submitted for the confirmation hearings of Jeff Sessions for Attorney General and Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education, both of whom have shown a disrespect for state/church separation. Then we talk with professor of philosophy and prolific author A. C. Grayling\xa0(founder and Master of New College of the Humanities in London) about his book, The Challenge of Things: Thinking Through Troubled Times.
