A group of parents, faith leaders and a nonprofit public education group are suing to stop Oklahoma from funding what would be the nation's first religious public charter school.
Or even just getting them to squabble over which Christian denomination the school will follow. Baptist? Mormons? A specific protestant denomination? Or maybe even the gasp Catholics who are swayed by the Pope! Get them to internecine fight over their flavor of God to follow and it’ll break apart in no time.
It won’t be killed. We’ve already seen them allow bibles in schools while denying every book conservatists don’t want. It’s a double standard that’s not being enforced in the federal court level. And if you think the supreme court will block that then good luck.
Yeah, this is what’s so frustrating. The Supreme Court has been pretty clear that it will only rule in favor of religious freedom for Christians. Access to abortion is critical for Jews and Muslims for example, but that doesn’t stop them from subjecting all of us to the extreme Christian belief on the matter. They’ve even gone as far as to say that the beliefs of reform or moderate Jews don’t count as Jewish beliefs because only the orthodox count (someone smarter than me can find the SCOTUS opinion that says this, it’s real). So yeah, religious freedom for Christians, no one else.
Don’t worry, they’ll just make an exception that only christian public schools are allowed just like they made exceptions for cis children to get gender affirming care and surgeries in their blatantly unconstitutional/genocidal trans care bans
Time for The Satanic Temple to open Satan’s Elementary School and apply for charter funding.
This is how you kill it. I hope the TST does just that.

We should all be joining The Satanic Temple at this point.
fight fire with fire
I’d send my kid to Lucifer P. Satan Memorial Elementary.

I mean, they’ll try.
Arkansas tried that but TST still got their Baphomet statue.
