Summary
Christian conservative efforts are reshaping public education, with states like Texas approving optional Bible-based lessons for elementary schools and other states introducing measures promoting religious content.
Critics argue these initiatives violate the First Amendment’s separation of church and state, favor Christianity, and risk indoctrination, particularly for younger students.
Proponents, including state officials and Trump, see these actions as affirming America’s religious heritage.
Legal battles are ongoing in states like Louisiana and Oklahoma, while debates continue nationwide over the role of religion in public schools amid broader cultural shifts.
What part of “no law respecting an establishment of religion” is confusing to you?
There should be consequences for passing obviously unconstitutional laws.
Probably the same people confused by the “well regulated militia” part.
Oh they’re not confused. They’re just lining up so that SCOTUS can ignore that just like they did when they came up with ceremonial deism.
They’re hoping SCOTUS will decide that means no establishment of any one specific sect of Christianity but declare that America is a Christian country.
Of course, then they’ll find out the hard way why the sectarianism happened in the first place and then the real fighting will begin.
