Texas can require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms, a U.S. appeals court ruled Tuesday in a victory for conservatives who have long sought to incorporate more religion into schools.
The ruling sets up a potential clash at the U.S. Supreme Court over the issue in the future. Arkansas and Louisiana have passed similar laws, which have also been challenged in courts.
And Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed a similar law earlier this moth.
Yeah, nah, laws banning slavery shouldn’t have an asterisk and the US is pretty fucked up for that
ALSO…As of 2022, several states, including Alabama, Tennessee, and Oregon, passed measures to update their state constitutions to remove language allowing slavery as a punishment for a crime, while Louisiana did not.
Bur ya know who cares about progress
I mean, yay progress but several states only banning slavery in 2022 kind of strengthens my original comment
You’d be amazed how many ridiculous laws are still on the books here
