President Trump renewed his promise to defend religious freedom and signaled a big development at the Department of Education during a speech at the Museum of the Bible on Monday.
The president lauded his record in office while vowing to protect religious liberty in America’s public schools. He made that pledge as the White House Religious Liberty Commission gathered at the museum.
“When faith gets weaker, our country seems to get weaker. When faith gets stronger… good things happen for our country. It’s amazing the way it seems to work that way. Under the Trump Administration, we’re defending our rights and restoring our identity as a nation under God. We are One Nation Under God — and we always will be,” he said.
