Former Exorcist turned pro-Trump Jacksonville Democrat, Kimberly Daniels, is advocating for the government to give special treatment to Christian Highschool students. HB 195 states that it is an act that is "requiring each school district to offer specified courses relating to religion, Hebrew Scriptures, and the Bible to certain students as elective courses". This bill mirrors extremely similar bills proposed throughout the United States which are allegedly pushing forward by pro-Christian lobbyist groups, as an initiative known as "Project Blitz".

The aim of "Project Blitz" is to:
To protect the free exercise of traditional Judeo-Christian religious values and beliefs in the public square, and to reclaim and properly define the narrative which supports such beliefs.

She succeeded in passing a relevant bill, that mandated public schools to display "In God We Trust", angering many. Secularist groups have fired back against Kimberly Daniels "attack on Separation of Church and State". Daniels claims her pro-Christian bible study elective idea is not breaching the separation of church and state.

Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AUSCS) fired back at HB195 claiming it comes with a lot of Constitutional risks, along with "significant" administrative costs. The AUSCS has also claimed that Kimberly Daniels bill is associated with the Project Blitz initiative backed by the Congressional Prayer Caucus. They have also brought up other examples of abuse from teachers promoting a particular religion in classrooms.
