Kate Cohen: "Tampon Tim" and the Long Reach of Religion | FFRF Convention 2024

Kate Cohen's talk, "'Tampon Tim' and the Long Reach of Religion," highlights how religion continues to influence public policy, especially in education. She takes aim at school voucher programs that funnel public money into religious institutions and connect Christian nationalism to anti-LGBTQ and anti-transgender laws. With humor, she explains how media and politics intersect with religious bias, referencing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz being mocked for his progressive policies. Cohen emphasizes that challenging religious influence is essential for protecting personal freedoms and fostering equality.
