A federal judge held that Loisiania's law mandating Ten Commandment posters in every public school classroom violated the Establishment Clause for two reasons.

First, Supreme Ct had held in Graham v. Stone (1980) that school 10C laws were unconstitutional, and this law is analogous

(Of course, Louisiana hopes SCOTUS will overrule Stone)

Very proud of my friend #AaronMichaelBaker for his clarity in speaking about the issue of the unconstitutional #RyanWalters #Bible mandates in #Oklahoma #PublicSchools, but also for his even-handed approach in discussing religious diversity in his history classes.

#Oklahoma --- defying the #FirstAmendment's #EstablishmentClause again and again.

It is shameful and wrong.

It is critical that all who believe in the First Amendment (including religious folks) speak out against this madness.

State Superintendent #RyanWalters should be impeached and removed from office for this extreme level of defiance to our most basic of civil rights.

Eli hit the nail on the head. The recent bill signed into law by #Louisiana's governor mandating that the #TenCommandments be prominently displayed in every #publicSchool in the state is a flagrant violation of the #EstablishmentClause of the #FirstAmendment. The Ten Commandments is an inherently religious document. The government may specifically not pass laws respecting any establishment of religion. They may not promote religion or religiosity in general. Time to sue!

One way to fight anti-abortion laws is for citizen groups to file class action suits based on the laws being a violation of citizens' First Amendment rights to freedom of religion.

In addition, states that are imposing anti-abortion laws are also violating the Establishment Clause of the 1st Amendment, by attempting to establish a state religion based on their own "Christian" mythology. Amending or discarding the 1st Amendment would require a Constitutional Convention, and I'd think that even the religiously bigoted GOP hacks on SCOTUS might have a hard time overturning or ruling against the 1st Amendment if they find that lower courts are upholding the 1st Amendment to rule in favor of the plaintiffs . #Abortion #US #ReligiousBigotry #1stAmendment #FreedomOfReligion #EstablishmentClause #SCOTUS

Skokie was a different time. I personally don't think that was the best use of #ACLU's resources then either, but it was more understandable.

Today, the SJP are part of an orchestrated attack on American #Jews. At a time when #antisemitic incidents are on the rise, defending the thugs at SJP isn't just defending the #FirstAmendment— it's defending a core component of the coordinated assault on our community.

There are, sadly, plenty of legitimate threats to #FreeSpeech, #FreeAssociation, the #EstablishmentClause—more than enough to keep ACLU busy. The fact that they've chosen this vehicle for their efforts speaks volumes.

I wrote a letter to the principal similar to this one on my Instagram. Bibles were handed out at a public school in Creedmoor, NC. It's not right. Idk what else to do. Send something to papers?

Baptist flier handed out at my son's school in Creedmoor, NC, USA for a student worship night. Then they passed out Bibles.
