Doesn’t that go against separation of church and state, and if this is government pushed, isn’t this a first amendment violation?
Welcome to the fun world of ceremonial deism.
Fucking hate this. There is a local public meeting that starts with a prayer to the Evangelical God in Jesus’s name that I’m forced to attend because of my job. I hate being essentially compelled to participate in prayer. The SCOTUS precedent supporting this is 100000000% Christian bias.
The way it was worded basically said that it had to be the national motto, thereby not making it a religious text to bypass the concerns you mentioned.
Look at the dollar bill. America has never given two shits about the separation of church and state.
In god we trust was added in the cold war because the old saying may have promoted something other than capitalism
‘E pluribus unum’ was pretty good, but I liked ‘mind your business’ too.

I’ve seen this before, but I’ve never been able to verify it as being real.
It was a legitimate protest of a stupid law that uses a legacy of inconsistent thought and limited perception to do an end run around the first amendment, but the text of the law requires a poster per building, so if they have enough in English, there would be no “need” to accept or post them. Now, if a principal or administrator had some balls, I certainly don’t see why they couldn’t use one of these or to flank the posters they do post with lots of context or more diverse ideas.

You don’t become a public school middle manager in Texas by showing balls. You’d get weeded out before you even got through the substitute program for teaching gym class.
Black background would have been better.
Or pink.
The law specified the background color.
Rainbow
How is this funny? It’s still religious doctrination. Oh I get it. Its a boomer catch phrase like “you couldn’t make this up”… Still not funny.
Its a pathetic liberal gotcha that fails to reconcile with the power of state government.
Either the sign goes up and some evangelicals vandalize it with impunity. Or the sign never goes up because school administrators don’t think the Texas AG will punish them for ignoring the law in this instance.
In this case, it doesn’t look like the flag was ever actually displayed.
Either way, evangelicals hold all the cards. Secular Liberals only manage to performatively protest in order to feel better.
What does it even mean to donate a poster?
It’s something to do with donuts.
Very slim chance this actually happened. There no actual photo of the flag, just a digital image that was created. Which means if it was not the creator of the flag, but a third person- they’d have a photo of the flag or in the least- not bothered recreating it in photoshop, but just describing it in enough detail. And if it was the creator that posted this- it wouldn’t be in 3rd person suggesting “someone” did this.
Additionally, In the rare chance it did happen- it wouldn’t be enforced.
What? You mean someone would just go on the Internet and lie like that?
