I’m an ex-Mormon who lives in Utah the need for separation of church and state is very apparent here.
I came across this just by researching John Throckmorton and trying to learn more about him, his beliefs, and notable events in his life.

After 150-odd years, Maryland finally decided to get back on the right side of history? I am surprised.

The times they are achangin’. Here is Maryland the legislature finally abolished Maryland My Maryland as the state song. The Republicans gave the identical arguments as for statues of Confederates. I found it refreshingly honest that they were openly supporting a denunciation of Abraham Lincoln and a call to arms to kill US Army soldiers.

yes, I did miss that. last time they had a vote on it (2015 I think) it was an overwhelming “No” to the name change. Now all the trival pursuit games are wrong :(.
