Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Best I can do is punish minorities - GOP
When schools teach mythology as fact everyone suffers. Stupidity is not how you make america great (again). It's a cult!
Now they can finally learn what kind of stick is best to beat your slave.
Get fucked. I'd light the Bible on fire. Outside, of course, in a safe and nonthreatening manner with the fire department on hand.
The Bible didn't invent the Golden Rule, or empathy for that matter!
Further proof that conservatives don't care about consequences; only virtue signaling.
They know this is unconstitutional. They know this will result in fewer Christians in the future (nothing spreads atheism like actually teaching what's really in the Bible, LOL). They know it's going to cost the state a lot of money in lawsuits. They know it's going to make people hate them and create endless division and possibly war.
They just don't care! Conservative thinking is like CEOs only caring about next quarter. Long term consequences of their actions are always conveniently ignored or never even considered.
I know a ton of conservatives are super ignorant of reality but this one takes the cake. When you try to force one very specific religion onto everyone via the government you always get endless conflict. Just look at how it's working out in the Middle East!
I'd say they want people to die over things like this but I don't believe they think that far ahead. They probably think this is a "big win" and will result in a future of endless white, Christian children who go to church every Sunday and only ever vote for Republicans.
Instead it's going to result in more conflict, more school shootings, more bombings, and generally all around less stability in society.
People really don't like being forced to live under someone else's religion. So much so that they tend to go to war over it. Or you end up with situations where everyone lives in a constant state of guerilla warfare/insurgency.
