The Supreme Court sided with the Department of Education, pausing a lower court ruling that would have restored grants for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. The panel explores what’s at stake—not just for education, but for democracy itself. Are DEI efforts under threat because they aim to level the playing field? Or is ignorance becoming policy by design?

Oklahoma’s Ryan Walters wants to bring Bibles into classrooms—and silence the watchdogs. But is it religious freedom or unconstitutional overreach?
In this episode, The Non-Prophets take aim at Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters, who is suing the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) for doing what it does best: upholding the Constitution. After the FFRF blocked Walters from using $3 million in public funds to buy Trump Bibles for every classroom, Walters retaliated by accusing the organization of "attacking teachers and students."
The panel breaks down how this lawsuit isn't just legally flimsy—it’s part of a wider Christian nationalist strategy to chip away at the wall between church and state. We also explore what this means for educators, indigenous communities, and anyone fighting for a secular government.

On April 1st, 2025, a bipartisan proposal to let members of Congress vote by proxy while on parental leave sparked unexpected chaos in the U.S. House. Co-sponsored by Rep. Ana Paulina Luna (R) and Rep. Brittany Pettersen (D), the measure aimed to support working parents in government.
But GOP leaders attempted to quietly kill the bill using a procedural trick—only to face rebellion from their own side. Nine Republicans joined Democrats to derail the legislative agenda, exposing the hypocrisy in so-called “pro-family” rhetoric.
The Non-Prophets panel explores how this battle reflects the broader national tension between parental rights, representation, and political gamesmanship.Watch as the crew breaks down the contradictions in Congress’ stance on family leave and why proxy voting for parents turned into such a hot-button issue.
