As Kavanuagh’s comment demonstrated, the Republican-appointed justices seemed to feel that in America today, it is religious people who are the victims of discrimination and whose needs are ignored.
So the group who are tax exempt and have many of their religious holidays as nationally recognized paid holidays, as well as have had the last 47 presidentail elects be of their religion (not including in other positions of authority), are suddenly victims of discrimination?
If they're going to allow religious schools get public funding then churches should pay into taxes.
Make it at least somewhat fair.
How long do you think it will take for Trump to declare himself as the head of the US religion, the same way Henry VIII did for the Church of England?
Welp...

Letting Religion run things is how you get the dark ages again. They were called dark for a reason.
They're called dark ages because there's not much record about it.
As a European watching the news, sometimes I have to remind myself that lots of other countries also go to shit from time to time, it just doesn't get reported on as much. We get a massively disproportionate amount of reporting from the US as a result of how the English-speaking internet works.
In fact even writing this I just noticed the sidebar's description of the community I'm posting in, guess I should probably just block it (no offence).
Ain't no hate like christofacist love...
Christofacisism
I hope no one kills these people for their obvious crimes.
My wife yells "purge night" a lot while watching the news.
Religion is a belief. School curriculum is made based on facts and experiments over time. They should not be combined.
Religion is made up fairytales that adults still believe in.
Honesty a guy praying to Jebus is no different than a guy shooting hadoukens from his wrists.
Yet one is called spiritual while the other is called childish.....
It’s funny that they clearly aren’t considering that religions other than theirs also exist. That’s the whole point of the Separation of Church and State. Your arbitrary religious views have no place in government or governance or public spaces… because others have other beliefs, many of which likely stand in stark contrast to yours, and the permutations are endless. Leaving your religious biases out of public life allows us all to coexist.
But lets ignore that and see what happens. Looking forward to The Satanic Temple having a presence in all public schools. Maybe muslims can get the Five Pillars and Buddhists can get the Noble Truths… and we’re just getting started.
They're not ignoring it, they're fully aware, and it's the whole point. They want an official state religion to suppress all others. They've been perfectly willing and able to blatantly ignore facts, evidence, and existing law and jurisprudence to benefit one religion over all others.
I hope the Satanic temple will be opening a charter school in Oklahoma soon.
It would be probably better than most of the other offerings in Oklahoma. Funnily enough, OKCPS had(has?) an illegal provision in its dress code that bans “satanic” imagery.
