They should comply, but with illustrated commandments showing Trump breaking each of them. With explanations if needed.
My first thought was that there is a gulf of difference between display, and display respectfully... But seriously how does anyone take their religion so seriously when it's so obviously a fragile veneer, if your beliefs are that brittle maybe time to start challenging some assumptions.
still, no.
Just because teachers are defying the mandates doesn't mean the states implementing them shouldn't be sued to get the mandates overturned.
Open defiance of an unjust law is often a necessary first step in overturning it, unfortunately.
Teachers defying a dumb law is reason it SHOULD be overturned
Texas’s attorney general, Ken Paxton, and other proponents of the law have argued that the Ten Commandments are “irrevocably intertwined with America’s legal, moral and historical heritage”. It’s a perspective that Usher said she “unequivocally” rejects.
“As an African American woman, American heritage has been oppression and slavery,” she said. “I see a push in certain ways that some people in this country want to go back to those things. The last thing I see is people obeying the Ten Commandments.”
When I was a kid (born and raised in the US), and I was sent to private religious (Christian) schools, I learned that Christianity had a fixation on child abuse and punishment. When I later read the bible, the New Testament was unbelievable to me, Christian institutions had proven to me they practiced the Old Testament, not the New. After I read the bible (I was sixteen), I stopped calling myself a Christian. Never again.
