The Old-Fashioned Way - Ep. 854 - February 16, 2026

Culture and law are colliding, and Christian schools are in the crosshairs. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland break down a fast-moving Debate over whether the progressive left is legislating Christianity out of American life, one regulation at a time. First, they react to examples from California, New York, and Colorado, where accreditation rules and state mandates pressure faith-based schools, camps, and adoption agencies to conform. Next, they discuss Virginia House Bill 359 and the push to treat tax credits as public funds, which can bring new control over private Christian education. Along the way, they talk about separation of church and state, vouchers, and why churches and parents must take responsibility for educating Children without trading convictions for government approval. Listen for a clear warning about "small compromises" and why the "old-fashioned way" still matters when pressure keeps rising. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #ChristianEducation #ReligiousFreedom #Podcast #CultureDebate
