Schools have to obey the law, but malicious compliance is a great way to protest.

Similarly: https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/2019/08/15/kentucky-schools-meet-in-god-we-trust-requirement-1-bill/2016831001/

Republican state Rep. Brandon Reed of Hodgenville filed the legislation that created the new law. He says he’s disappointed to see schools “spend time searching for silly loopholes,” noting the law passed with broad support.

I’m disappointed to see representatives spending time making bullshit laws instead of actually helping our children with things that matter, like food, education, housing, and not growing up to be Republican dipshits.

But these people can’t be good Christians if they don’t force their religion onto the impressionable kids! How else do they get new kids to help please the local church overlords with their sexual desires?

The point is not that the church is evil. The point is that it’s wrong and unAmerican even if the church is everything it claims to be.

Your church can be all about helping others, making a more equitable world, non-judgement, providing community services, teaching good ethics, etc. (what are you, pastafarian?), but it still does not belong in the public schools. Sorry not sorry to Christians and Pastafarians.

honestly worshipping a dollar bill as the US religion seems somewhat more truthful than pretending this country worships Jesus.

As long as you can get away with it.

I feel so bad for the teachers. This is just yet another thing they have to comply with to keep their jobs.
