They’re passing a new law in Utah this year that all public schools MUST display the Ten Commandments where every student can see. It doesn’t matter if most of the students aren’t Christian or if they are from other religious backgrounds - all that matters in Utah is that you conform to the legislatures’ narrow view of what a person is ALLOWED to believe.
They passed a law in Kentucky that all schools had to display ‘In God We Trust’ on their walls, so a school decided to do some malicious compliance and framed a dollar bill.
Maybe the Utah schools can post them in the original Hebrew.
In Utah all new license plates must bear the phrase “In God we Trust.” Even though the truth is, in “God” I do not trust, and I never did trust in any supernatural being to regulate the events of my life. The Hebrew idea is great, but they won’t do it because it’s not OK to not be a christian mormon in utah. There are Jewish people here, of course, but they aren’t recognized or allowed to talk in school about it.
It IS a beautiful state, in the Salt lake valley (where I am) with high mountains all around, and in the southern part with the Red Rock canyons and Arches and Zion national park. Breathtaking, in fact. It’s just too bad the mormons stopped here and decided “this is the place.” Wish they’d gone a little farther north to Colorado instead.
as hard as the mormons push their religion, this is just wrong. you also have the choice of arches one or the now generally available plain black one, on top of all the special interest ones
Sounds like Utah needs to not be receiving federal funding until such time as they reverse that decision. If that is an insufficient incentive to knock it off then add further penalties until they do.
Ask the Utah legislatures and they’ll all say they want nothing from the Federal government at all. Yet they gladly accept all the funding they can get if it helps with oil and gas development or to reduce the size of our public parks and monuments.
Fair enough, let’s give them what they want.
No more funding, no more enforced open boarder with their neighboring states, no more enforcing of IP claims from Utah, no more use of $ as their currency.
I’m all for that, it would serve them right. But unfortunately they’d find some way to tax the money out of our hides - like they already do, making us taxpayers pay for richer people to send their kids to religious schools rather than public ones.
Utah is like Texas - they WANT to secede from the union, and be their own little country. In a way that’s partly the mormon militia at work, feeling like they shouldn’t have to answer for any of their actions. And also because right wing politics is enshrined into Utah law at every level.

Utah is probably the most beautiful state I’ve ever driven through. I didn’t want to stop much due to all the crazy.

Or kept going west and drowned in the ocean like lemmings.
Like fictional Disney lemmings, that is.

“Allah Akbar” is a close enough translation
Just post that on the wall instead
Love it
Then they might realize there’s actually several hundred commandments, and they get real weird.
“Give Unto Caesar”

The Constitution can only be invoked when you want to restrict people’s rights, bruh
