    Quite literally the opposite of constitutional law, so of course the activist conservative judges will do it.

    Goddamnit.

    I don’t have (or plan to have) kids, but I’m happy to pay the local taxes (and vote ‘yes’ on the various levies) that fund the schools because I don’t want a bunch of stupid adults later. But shoving religion in makes me want to start looking for some kind of opt-out loophole. I definitely don’t want my tax money going toward religious indoctrination.

      I’m irritated enough that churches in my area are provided free spaces to worship. It’s a common practice in Northern VA for churches to hold worship services in schools on the weekends and, in the case of my wife’s former school, tear down LGBTQ+ club signs. Here comes more possible (probable) encroachment.

        My area is unincorported (just outside of city limits). A portion of my property taxes go toward the schools.

          Ah, your state probably does taxes differently or you’re technically in a school district just not in town. There’s school district black holes in my area, but they’re usually pretty far out there.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes this way.

    Religion is a tool for indoctrination and control. They want to be able to control the masses to keep power and wealth with the oligarchic elite. Religion and superstitious thinking is a direct contradiction to critical thinking. Religion literally makes people dumb, and therefore easier to manipulate.

    I will have to look for Satanic classes, I guess. Or Flying Spaghetti Monster.
