Welcome to The Village Oak Tree

I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.

Thank you for joining me once again.

This week, I’m going to dive into religion and education, and how the separation of church and state is starting to become blurred in the United States, despite what the U.S. constitution says.

After I have presented my findings from this week’s news feeds, I bring you another chapter of The Priest by Michael Campi to end today’s show once again.

So come, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let explain what I mean and what that might mean for U.S. citizens in the future.

I decided to talk about something that some people might consider taboo, religion and politics, and how these topics are becoming part of the educational landscape of the United States.
