  1. Texas: Faith, Freedom, and Mind Your Damn Business

    Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — September 4, 2026, 9:15 p.m. PHT

    Texas talks about faith constantly and practices freedom inconsistently. Religion is waved like a banner while personal liberty is quietly narrowed, regulated, or punished when it doesn’t line up with political fashion. This contradiction has become so normal that many Texans barely notice it anymore.

    Faith is not the problem. Power is.

    Faith Is Personal, Not Administrative

    Texas is home to churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, meeting houses, and people who believe quietly or not at all. That pluralism is not a flaw. It is a fact. Faith has always been part of Texas life, but it has never belonged to the state.

    When government begins enforcing one version of belief, it stops protecting faith and starts weaponizing it. That does not strengthen religion. It cheapens it. Faith that requires government backing is not faith—it is insecurity dressed up as authority.

    People believe deeply without being coerced. The state does not need to supervise that.

    Freedom Means Leaving People Alone

    Texas politicians love to invoke freedom while inserting themselves into private decisions about bodies, families, education, and belief. That is not freedom. It is control wrapped in familiar language.

    True freedom is not loud. It is boring. It is the quiet confidence that your neighbor’s life choices are none of your business unless they cause real harm. A free society tolerates disagreement without demanding conformity.

    If a belief system is strong, it does not need the force of law to survive.

    Religion in Schools Without Indoctrination

    Teaching about religion is not the same thing as preaching it. Students benefit from understanding the beliefs that shape history, culture, and global affairs. Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shinto, Indigenous traditions, and secular ethics all belong in a serious education.

    Teaching one belief as truth while excluding others is not education. It is indoctrination. Texas should be confident enough to teach broadly without fear.

    Knowledge does not weaken faith. It strengthens discernment.

    The Myth of Moral Decline

    Texas politics often leans on claims of moral collapse to justify intrusion into private life. These claims rarely hold up under scrutiny. Crime trends, family structures, and social behavior are influenced far more by economics, education, and stability than by religious enforcement.

    Blaming social problems on belief differences avoids addressing harder causes like poverty, healthcare access, housing, and education. Moral panic is easier than policy work.

    A serious state solves problems instead of sermonizing about them.

    Faith Communities Do Real Work

    Faith-based organizations are often the first to respond when communities struggle. They feed people, shelter families, provide counseling, and show up quietly without demanding credit. That work matters. It deserves respect and support.

    What it does not require is political dominance. Faith communities are strongest when they act voluntarily, not when they are fused to state power.

    Service speaks louder than slogans.

    Freedom of Conscience Cuts Both Ways

    Freedom of religion includes the freedom not to believe. It includes the freedom to change beliefs. It includes the freedom to practice quietly without public approval. Protecting conscience means accepting outcomes you may personally dislike.

    That is the price of liberty. It is also its strength.

    Texas cannot claim to honor freedom while punishing people for living differently.

    When Government Picks Winners

    History offers no shortage of warnings about governments that decide which beliefs are acceptable. Even when intentions begin as sincere, outcomes tend toward exclusion, resentment, and abuse. Texas is not immune to that pattern.

    Keeping church and state separate does not weaken either. It protects both from corruption.

    Personal Faith, Public Restraint

    Leaders are allowed their faith. They are allowed to be guided by conscience. What they are not allowed to do is impose that conscience as law when it infringes on the rights of others.

    Restraint is not betrayal. It is maturity.

    What a Confident Texas Would Do

    A confident Texas would protect freedom of worship for everyone and freedom from coercion for everyone else. It would teach religion academically, not devotionally. It would trust families and individuals to handle belief without supervision.

    Most of all, it would stop confusing moral authority with legal power.

    Why This Matters Going Forward

    Faith will continue to shape Texas culture. That is not in question. The question is whether it will be used to inspire service and compassion—or to justify intrusion and control.

    Freedom survives only when people mind their own damn business.

    Texas is strong enough to do that.

  6. Greg Iacurci and Jessica Dickler report on a significant shift in education policy. The Treasury Department and IRS have proposed regulations that could strip tax-exempt status from up to 18,000 private schools for using race in admissions or programs. This move by the Trump administration targets DEI policies, potentially impacting charitable deductions and scholarships. Such actions highlight how addressing historical racial barriers is being reframed as a compliance issue rather than an equity goal.

  9. Free Buses, Dark Screens

    On the Thursday before Labor Day, the principals of New York City's public schools opened a memo from the Education Department. The free T-Mobile internet service built into 350,000 student Chromebooks would end that Sunday, August 31. Classes begin September 10. Four days of warning, ten days of scramble, and then the school year opens on machines that still power up, still glow, and can no longer reach anything. The laptop survives. The world inside it has been repossessed. During the pandemic the city handed out some 725,000 devices and never tracked how many still function; the Chromebook program was the sequel, the do-over, the one arriving with a plan attached. The plan lasted a year. […]
