Heritage Foundation creator Paul Weyrich first saw Roe v. Wade as an opportunity to gain support for the religious right’s school segregation policies. “School choice,” remains a priority for the movement, but their power and control can be seen throughout state and federal government in 2025.

This is a very short post about the current Louisiana fiscal budget, LA DOGE, Landry, and how it relates to the early foundations of the religious right movement in the U.S.

Weyrich also created the Council for National Policy (CNP), a secretive group that is listed by on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch

Interestingly in 2019, CNP held a conference in New Orleans. Jeff Landry and Steve Scalise were both listed as speakers on the conference agenda.
