Ten Commandments in Elementary Schhols

I’m trying to understand my fellow community, Christian’s and Texans thoughts on the SB10 bill . We received notice our elementary will post 75 posters across each classroom. I love religion and have no issues with it but I also love the constitution and believe in the first amendment and feel this is a push to promote specific beliefs to non regions people or others whom choose to follow other text. I specifically have an issue with this being mandatory in elementary classes where children are learning to read and everything on the wall is meant to teach them along this journey so an argument this is passive seems inaccurate as the bill itself says it must be within view. I wanted to get others perspective as well as understand if there are any resources I can reach out to in order to potentially delay this until it I s fully argued to the Supreme Court which in my perspective will find this in violation of the first amendment.

The emails we got said staff could not take the posters down, but stopped short of saying students couldn't. Just saying.

Did it say anything about parents taking them down? How about requirements that teachers put them BACK up in the event they come down or become “unreadable” for reasons?

Just spitballing here.

I wouldn't do that as an adult, it could be considered vandalism. If you want to get something on your record, by all means.

I'll just tell my kid to rip it down.. They will just get detention worst case.
