Brad speaks to Chris and Mendi Tackett, two Texas activists who are fighting Christian nationalism tooth and nail in their state. They explain how the school voucher scam, the abortion ban, the Ten Commandments bill, school board takeovers, and so much more all trace back to an overarching ideology - Christian nationalism.
Mendi talks about how White Christian women uphold Christian patriarchy and support the abortion ban.
Chris talks about his experience on the school board and how Texas schools are being preyed upon by Christian nationalists.
They both talk about what's changed over the last decade - and how to fight back.
Their insight is applicable all over the country, where the same playbook is being implemented.
