I love how our Constitution is the most sacred law of the land, yet there are zero penalties for violating it. https://www.acluarkansas.org/press-releases/court-permanently-blocks-arkansas-law-requiring-ten-commandments-in-every-public-school-classroom-and-library/
At this point it’s less useful than toilet paper. At least toilet paper wipes shit off.

They should display it on the tiniest piece of paper that you need a microscope to read.
the article does not say but laws I have seen before are ready for this and have size and presentation and not being blocked in them. Its blatantly unconstitutional which is kinda funny with the constitution hanging next to it. Sort of a natural conversation for teachers to have with the students.
Hmm. Do they have the alphabet listed? You can write English in Cyrillic or Sütterlin easily, and with a little more difficulty in Chinese, for example.
What about font/color? Does it count as covering it if you allow moss to grow on it? Do the commandments have to all be together, or can you mix them with other texts?
no idea about this but I have seen size but don’t recall seeing things as specific as font or alphabet although maybe color including background color. I mean these things need to be struck down or they need to post something for every religion of students in the school system at a minimum.
They should absolutely be struck down if the courts understand and care to hold up the constitution, but I have basically zero faith that they do.
Using other belief systems was what I was thinking about with mixing them with other texts. Like, if you’ve got to live in a christofascist nightmare, at least get some didactic value out of it by comparing the counterparts from other religions/showing plainly that other religions have sensible moral values.
Or, you go full malicious compliance and somehow make it unreadable.
well since they are hanging it next to the constitution which has the first amendment and its just ripe for classroom discussions about it and thomas jefferson and the principles of the country. you can talk about history, and philosophy, and irony all at the same time.
Yeah, I wasn’t disagreeing with you above, just expanding the areas in which you can use it to teach actually valuable things to the class
oh I did not think you were. just adding on. I think sometimes we think all responses are counterpoints or arguments on the internet but like if im talking to someone in life its often kinda like a dialectic. yeah and, yeah but. basically agreement with additions. you know though I sorta have been noticing that I feel in person convos are getting a bit more like the internet. like a bit more assumption its some kind of argument. I feel agreement and dissent was much more fluid when hanging out and talking with folks in the past. Don’t get me wrong its still more like that in person compared to online than in person today compared to in person yesteryears. Also going way off topic and on tangents is something I don’t see many people do like I am doing now on the internet but its totally a thing I do in person :)
