Quick! Can someone PLEASE mow down a bunch of 6 Year Olds with Guns so I can PRETEND to care about the Constitution again?
That’s a prima facie violation of separation of church and state
Separation of church and state is not technically a law. However, SCOTUS ruled against exactly this in Stone v. Graham. My fear is that states are doing this to bait it back to our newly conservative SCOTUS.
More than 40 years ago, in Stone v. Graham, the Supreme Court overturned a similar state statute, holding that the First Amendment bars public schools from posting the Ten Commandments in classrooms. No other state requires the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public schools.
Yeah, well, if the fascists take over and try to codify Christian theocracy into our laws, that’s a thing that I actually do think would start a civil war.
The problem with civil war isn’t the justification, but the success against modern governmental warfare armaments.
What I’m saying is that this would incite state governments to rebel against the federal, perhaps taking (or convincing, or co-opting, or outright capturing) the military assets for their own interests.
