Requiring the Ten Commandments in classrooms is un-American

The Ten Commandments fight continues.

Families — not politicians — get to decide how kids engage with religion.

Requiring the permanent display of the Ten Commandments in every classroom pressures students to observe and adopt state-endorsed religious teachings. This violates fundamental American values. Religion is deeply personal, and how children are introduced to faith should be left to families and faith communities. 

Mandating a Protestant version of the Ten Commandments on every public school classroom wall crosses a line and it puts the government and school teachers in the role of religious instructors. Americans United, the ACLU, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, and ACLU state affiliates are challenging similar laws in Louisiana, Arkansas, and now Texas. And the brave families we represent are speaking out against these harmful displays.

Some 49% of voters surveyed leaned Democrat, including independent voters asked to pick one party or the other. 

Only 39% of respondents leaned Republican. That 10-point spread marks a sharp reversal from the four-point advantage that Republicans held over Democrats in the fourth quarter of 2024, when voters sent Donald Trump back to the White House and Republicans swept both houses of Congress. Democrats are seeing their most sizable advantage since 2008, when Barack Obama was elected president, according to the New York Times...

Judge orders Trump administration to reveal who set up $1.8bn ‘anti-weaponization fund’

Ivan Davis, the US magistrate judge for the eastern district of Virginia, issued the order compelling discovery materials from the government as part of a lawsuit brought by the Democracy Forward non-profit on behalf of plaintiffs including a fired prosecutor and a college professor acquitted of assaulting federal agents at a protest against an immigration raid in California. 

“Today’s order granting discovery is a significant step in getting to the bottom of the slush fund,” said Aman George, senior counsel at the non-profit. “We will continue to meet the government in court until our investigation is complete and the slush fund is permanently halted.”…
