I thought a judge blocked Texas from posting them in all schools but the order to post them goes into effect next week here. Nazi governor Abbott may just ignore the judges ruling. That seems to be the M O for these nazis in power.

The law is a bit convoluted. Texas doesn't not require schools to purchase the posters but does require school to accept any privately donated posters. There isn't any enforcement mechanism in the law itself so it isn't clear if a school doesn't do anything what happens.

I have a feeling we will find out pretty quick. It would be awesome if every school sends Governor Abbott an email telling him they will not be ignoring the courts orders.

The intent of the law is to create a case for SCOTUS to so ... something. The text of THE 10 commandments doesn't appear in any translation of Exodus. It comes from a SCOTUS case and matches the text in laws in AR and LA. The laws even match. Schools can just silently not comply.

Let's hope they do. There is a school superintendent in Oklahoma pushing hard for the Bible to be placed in public schools as well. Republican operated schools will probably abide by Abbott's orders while Democratic ones won't. We will have to see how the nazi governor punishes the ones that won't.

SCOTUS recently insisted that parents have an extra-special right to opt out of classroom content that interferes in their religious belief. In that case it was LBGTQ content. Christians don't agree on the content of THE Bible. I see parents taking issue with a OK official version of holy text.

Paxton has already told school districts to ignore the ruling and post the Ten Commandments in classrooms anyways.

Damn. I had a feeling they were ignoring the courts ruling.

Hopefully there are some students willing and ready to cause the good kind of trouble…

And parents who are willing to do the same.
