This is how you get Christians to lobby for no religion in schools.
Now if there's an imam to step forward, we could really accelerate this process.
This is very specifically how Oklahoma's AG sold their case against the religious charter school.
[Oklahoma AG Gentner Drummond] said allowing a school like St. Isidore would open the door for state-funded schools to teach other religious beliefs, such as Sharia law or Satanism.
“While I understand that the Governor and other politicians are disappointed with this outcome, I hope that the people of Oklahoma can rejoice that they will not be compelled to fund radical religious schools that violate their faith,” Drummond said.
They are so close to getting it…
The satanic temple usually does stuff like this.

Wait until the Satanic Temple joins the action...
Somehow I think Islam is the bigger problem. I think they don't take the Satanic Temple as seriously. 😂
Yeah most of them know their balls are being busted by "Satanists"
Oh no they don't. They believe in the literal devil and you can be sure they haven't done five minutes of research.
"Yes hello I would like the sections of the Quran detailing everything the Jews and Christians did wrong to also be posted in classrooms please lol"
monotheistic shouting match ensues
Crusade it
Jihad to be there
Probably the same group that flipped a shit when they started doing yoga in schools because they were "trying to indoctrinate kids into hinduism/buddhism"
That's only if they feel like they have to care about being "fair". Or attempting to have ethics or agree on having a social contract.
They no longer care.
It is already well-known that requiring the Ten Commandments in the classroom is unconstitutional. They don't think it matters or welcome the fight on it.
No, this how you get the maggots to have religion more "defined and "classified."
Remember the church of Satan tried this in Florida and desantis just plainly said "No nuh uh. Not yours. You're not an actual religion. You don't count."
They'll do the same fucking thing in LA
Hinduism is not an actual religion? They would have a harder time getting anyone to agree with a straight face
I do hope this is a form of protest, simply because he’s going to run into all sorts of racism and bigotry that we should have long since outgrown. If he makes those politicians understand their inconsistency, that’s a win.
On the other hand, he’s right about the historical importance of such a major religion and we would all do well to learn more about that. If religion belongs anywhere in public schooling, it would be as a survey or comparative religion course, maybe influence on history. ….. it’s tough to learn a survey of major religions or compare major relig in a if you limit yourself to one sect of one religion
There are currently 4,000 religions in the world today (ball park figure)
Show them all.
Little Timmy's art work he's proud of?
Sorry. No room because we have to cater to religious assholes who make up the Republican party.
I like the "all or nothing" approach. It negates the "but my religion is extra special and the true one".
All scriptures, equal space for each scripture, same font (not necessarily same size) same colors.
Also need to leave some space for new religions/scriptures. It's only fair.
I love that idea and I think that's the only fair way to do things.
The sucky part, which is sucky already, is that the law says that the schools themselves have to pay for the 10 Commandments posters. Really. And the law gets worse from there.
Well yeah. It takes money away from schools. That's the end game.
Should've started with extreme militant Islam. The speed of the pearl clutching could become a new form of energy
I'm vaguely recalling a Jim Carry line from Bruce Almighty, "Smite them oh mighty smiter!"
"Now I'm not much for blaspheming, but that last one made me laugh."
I would like this play doh sculpture of Baphomet I made displayed in all kindergarten classes, too. To refuse would violate my first amendment rights!
Right next to our true Lord: The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
R’amen!
Ok, I lost it at that one, that was inspired.
Pastafarianism is not only real, you can demand to wear your colander in a driver photo as an expression of your beliefs.
Does that count as Scripture or Advertising?
That's not fair! You guys already get Spaghetti Wednesday, now you want pasta in the classroom?
It’s a small price for freedom
Good for Rajan. I hope he doesn’t give up.
They should celebrate pastafarianism with a colander
It's only fair.
As expected. Queue Satanic Temple. All part of their sooper jenius plan to get Christian-sharia validated by this illegitimate, corrupt SCOTUS.
Bonus: all legal fees helpfully footed by the losers and suckers - i mean taxpayers - of Louisiana!
That’s the point, to showcase Christo-fascism. Acting like the Satanic Temple is the problem while you sit back and do nothing is brain dead and only serves Christo-fascism.
Playing the game like a badass. Also, for anyone who doesn’t know, you can contribute to order these great Ten Commandments posters (the law says they can come by donations, not via state funding).
Do the Noble 8 fold path next!!
