Texas will require all public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments under a new law that will make the state the nation’s largest to attempt to impose such a mandate.
Gov. Greg Abbott announced Saturday that he signed the bill, which is expected to draw a legal challenge from critics who consider it an unconstitutional violation of the separation of church and state.
A similar law in Louisiana was blocked when a federal appeals court ruled Friday that it was unconstitutional. Arkansas also has a similar law that has been challenged in federal court.
Hooray I’m so fucking happy hot wheels did… exactly what I’d expect. I’m actually shocked it doesn’t have something in the bill to hurt the poor or non-whites. Now to watch my tax dollars be wasted in a court room cause separation of church & state is super goddamn easy to understand if you’re not a fascist.

Ah! Yes, I didn’t categorize the idiot properly. I’m so sick of this crap…

There are Seven Fundamental Tenets
I- One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II- The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III- One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV- The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.
V- Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.
VI- People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII- Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
What does this have to do with forcing the ten commandments in to classrooms?
Those are the tenets of the Satanic Temple. They’re known for fighting against this type of religious overreach.
Oh yeah they’ll be all over this.
Thinking of all the money that will be wasted in printing these and then litigating this
Not Greg’s money though, and that’s all he gives a fuck about sadly.
Abbott can get “Mr. Hands’d”
