Satanists, do your thing! I fucking hate these attempts to make the US a christofascist country. I wonder if there will be arguments about whether Trump, DeSantis and their ilk were Christians in 80 years.
As a Satanist, I would love to challenge this, but this one is unfortunately much more difficult to challenge than, say, the 10 Commandments because Christians managed to fuck up our national motto. And all this law is doing is requiring teachers to put our national motto up in classrooms.
It’s crazy because the first amendment literally says that there should be no national religion, yet it’s acceptable that “in god we trust” because it’s not a specific religion. That’s just such a bad faith interpretation of the law. Plus it’s always the “constitutionalists” who are pushing this kind of shit, which I guess is the kind of hypocrisy we’ve all come to expect from them.
