Has no moral values.

He chose to disregard the commandment about adultery

Fuck the Fox News MAGA Taliban!

There are differences.
Which is the approved state religion?

Verses from the Quran and the Tanakh. Confucianism would be a nice touch. Stuff form the Book of Mormon and the Church of Scientology should go up as well. The holy rollers should be made as uncomfortable as possible.

I'd start agitating to hand out a copy of The Satanic Bible to each and every student.

I suppose the schools have to pay for these posters for EACH classroom also!!



Court upholds Texas law requiring Ten Commandments in classrooms

The Texas law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in each classroom has been upheld by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, according to an opinion released by the court on Tuesday.

In June 2025, the Texas Legislature enacted Senate Bill 10, which requires public elementary and secondary schools to display in each classroom a "durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments." The poster or copy must measure "at least 16 inches wide and 20 inches tall," use an easily readable typeface, and be "display[ed] in a conspicuous place."


A lawsuit filed in early December 2025 claimed that the law violates the First Amendment. The American Civil Liberties Union and religious freedom organizations filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in San Antonio on behalf of 18 families with children in public school across the state. Sixteen school districts were named as defendants, including seven from North Texas.

Court says Ten Commandments displays are not "engines of coercive indoctrination"
The court found the law to be legally compliant with the First Amendment, meaning it does not improperly establish or endorse a religion nor does it prevent individuals from practicing their faith.

In its opinion, the court said in part:...............

And the pledge and national motto in the 50s and now with religious text in classrooms. Death by a thousand cuts as we will be become a theocracy no different than those some claim to despise in other Islamic countries.

Federal Appeals Court Upholds Texas Ten Commandments Law

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit said the law does not violate the Constitution. The plaintiffs said they planned to ask the Supreme Court to reverse the decision.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday narrowly upheld a Texas law that requires public schools to display posters of the Ten Commandments in classrooms. ... By 9-to-8, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that the law does not violate the separation of church and state, reversing two lower court decisions. The court also ruled the measure does not restrict parents' right to direct their children's religious upbringing.

"Students are neither catechized on the Commandments nor taught to adopt them," the ruling said. "Nor are teachers commanded to proselytize students who ask about the displays or contradict students who disagree with them."

Since Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, signed a law in 2025 mandating the religious displays, families of various faith backgrounds have challenged it, arguing that the law amounted to state endorsement of religion. The law was passed amid a broader conservative push to infuse Christianity into public schools, and several other Republican-led states have passed similar laws.

The organizations representing the 15 Texas families who filed the lawsuit said in a statement that they were disappointed in the decision and planned to ask the Supreme Court to reverse it.

Texas can force schools to post Ten Commandments, federal appeals court rules

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the state can enforce its 2025 law requiring public schools to display donated posters of the Ten Commandments.

Texas can enforce a state law requiring public schools to display posters of the Ten Commandments in classrooms, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday. ... A majority of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in Texas officials' favor, concluding that the law does not establish an official state religion.

"It does not tell churches or synagogues or mosques what to believe or how to worship or whom to employ as priests, rabbis, or imams," according to the ruling. (1) "It punishes no one who rejects the Ten Commandments, no matter the reason."

The court heard arguments in January after 16 families sued over the law, alleging that it amounted to state leaders promoting their interpretation of Christianity over other faiths.

All 17 active judges on the court listened to the case -- Rabbi Nathan v. Alamo Heights Independent School District -- alongside a similar challenge in Louisiana, the first state to pass a Ten Commandments requirement for its public schools. (2) The court cleared the way in February for Louisiana to fully implement its law.

After Tuesday's decision, the civil rights organizations representing the families expressed disappointment.

"which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

The FIRST Commandment.

"God" admitting there are multiple gods. Total incoherence to religious dogma.

So......FUCK YOU, "god".
Even if you were real, I would NEVER worship a racist, mysoginist, genocidal, slavery enabling ASSHOLE.

But thankfully, "god" is just pretend. The imaginary friend in millions of human minds. No more real than Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy or the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

So posting religious BULLSHIT in classrooms are supposed to help?? HOW?? By LYING to children??

Go ahead and believe whatever nonsense you want to believe, but shoving it down the throats of children is just abuse, plain and simple. Especially when they aren't YOUR kids, but somebody elses.
