Spinfold-On The Mark

BREAKING: The Texas Senate just passed a bill that would compel every single public school classroom in the state to display a copy of the Ten Commandments. Additionally, a bill was passed to set aside time during the day for prayer and reading the Bible. You might be thinking "They can't do that." You might be thinking "That's unconstitutional." Well it is, but they did it, despite the fact that a Supreme Court verdict back in 1980, Stone v. Graham, determined that it violated the Establishment Clause of the Constitution when Kentucky tried the exact same thing. Conservative Republicans have been steadily chipping away at the norms and laws that protect our nation's most vulnerable citizens, like how they did away with crucial segment from the Voting Rights Act, and how they just overturned Roe v Wade. Laws like this will negatively impact upon students who do not share the same religious beliefs as the majority of students, and could even stigmatize them as lesser members of the student body. Drop a 💙 if you agree religion must be kept out of our public schools.
