Texas wants to post the Ten Commandments in every classroom...I have a suggestion
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2023/05/the-ten-commandments-version.htmlThe Texas Legislature wants to post the Ten Commandments in every classroom in the state. While that would be a violation of the establishment clause, and the conscience of anyone who sees those commandments as religiously based, it would be completely inconsistent with far right wing extremist Republican Trumpism to put up ten commandments which Trump himself ignores and violates every time he takes a breath and opens his mouth.

The suggestions in the article are a revised, MAGA version that they should post instead.

That this could, through the courts, be opening the door to have any religion's statement of beliefs or whatever posted in every single classroom, like the seven tenants of the satanic temple. They can't favor one religion over another.

their offices (the Republicans at least).

And no, they sure don't follow them.

their bible and have it republished using these.
