    Doesn’t that go against separation of church and state, and if this is government pushed, isn’t this a first amendment violation?

        Fucking hate this. There is a local public meeting that starts with a prayer to the Evangelical God in Jesus’s name that I’m forced to attend because of my job. I hate being essentially compelled to participate in prayer. The SCOTUS precedent supporting this is 100000000% Christian bias.

    I’ve seen this before, but I’ve never been able to verify it as being real.

      It was a legitimate protest of a stupid law that uses a legacy of inconsistent thought and limited perception to do an end run around the first amendment, but the text of the law requires a poster per building, so if they have enough in English, there would be no “need” to accept or post them. Now, if a principal or administrator had some balls, I certainly don’t see why they couldn’t use one of these or to flank the posters they do post with lots of context or more diverse ideas.

        You don’t become a public school middle manager in Texas by showing balls. You’d get weeded out before you even got through the substitute program for teaching gym class.
