I get the humor in the irony, and it’s a meme place, but never give an inch. A private school can do what they want, but public is owned by the people, and there cannot be discrimination with religious stances. So therefore, no side can be chosen, even in jest.

Not a fan of the theocracy that’s been allowed to seep in over many decades being wrapped in falsities.

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?

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.

Nah, private schools shouldn’t get to do this shit either except in a specifically dedicated theology course, and even then they shouldn’t be allowed to get all high control group propoganda missionary about it.

They shouldn’t in principle, but they don’t have a Constitutional reason they shouldn’t be doing it.

If public schools are required to comply, couldn’t a teacher lose their job for not putting up the ten commandments in Louisiana?

I’m convinced TST is doing more for our rights than any other organization out there.

On a social-rights level, sure, they’re awesome. If you like TST, I bet you love activism for worker’s rights! Consider joining and participating in your workplace’s union, and a more widespread union movement that encompasses all workers, such as the Industrial Workers of the World union!

If those guys aren’t already printing posters to mail to every school in Louisiana, I’ll send them a check.

The funny thing is, that’s actually sort of what happens in the Bible. The laws people call the Ten Commandments were the first set of laws Moses brought down. Then the people smashed them, so he brought down a second set of laws that are the only laws in the Bible called the Ten Commandments. They include not boiling a baby goat in its mother’s milk and not making a blood sacrifice with yeast.

Not quite so cut and dry, but yeah. This is a likely possibility for what is meant by “the 10 commandments.”

Moses broke the first tablets, not the people, not that it actually happened or matters at all to anyone lol. Also, fun fact, the whole goat in its mother’s milk thing is why modern practicing Jews don’t eat cheeseburgers.
