    If you didn’t vote Harris, you voted for this.

      There have been no new Supreme Court nominees since the election, so even if Harris had won, it would not have changed this.

      If you voted for Harris you voted for genocide. People who abstained did not.

        Ah so you think you are innocent because you didn’t vote.

        No. That makes you complacent. You let Trump win by not voting which is the same as voting for Trump.

        People like you are why Trump is president.

        What a brain dead take. Not only do you STILL have genocide, you also have a president who is going to destroy this country. All because you couldn’t lift your lazy fat ass off the couch.

        Harris stated multiple times that she wanted a cease fire and a two state solution. Polar opposite of Trumps “sweep them out and take over.”

        Every month from becoming the nominee until the election: cease fire, hostage release, two state solution.

            As VP she literally could not take any action unless it came down to a 50-50 vote in the Senate. That’s the job of the VP.

      Actually no. Refusing to vote for a genocidal candidate, regardless of which side of the aisle or gender they are, is always a good choice. We are not free until we are all free. I demand my politicians not just be the lesser of two evils. I hope you can too. Cuz the drive to vote for a democratic candidate cuz they are not as evil is what got us here in the first place.

    He continued: “You can’t treat religious people and religious institutions and religious speech as second-class in the United States… And when you have a program that’s open to all comers except religion… that seems like rank discrimination against religion.”

    No, you stupid cunt. Religious institutions are special snowflakes that enjoy tax-exempt status and steal billions of dollars from this country by existing. Now you want to give them billions more on top of it. Fuck you Brett Kavanaugh you treasonous piece of shit.

      It would be probably better than most of the other offerings in Oklahoma. Funnily enough, OKCPS had(has?) an illegal provision in its dress code that bans “satanic” imagery.

    Religion is a belief. School curriculum is made based on facts and experiments over time. They should not be combined.

      Religion is made up fairytales that adults still believe in.

      Honesty a guy praying to Jebus is no different than a guy shooting hadoukens from his wrists.

      Yet one is called spiritual while the other is called childish…

    It’s funny that they clearly aren’t considering that religions other than theirs also exist. That’s the whole point of the Separation of Church and State. Your arbitrary religious views have no place in government or governance or public spaces… because others have other beliefs, many of which likely stand in stark contrast to yours, and the permutations are endless. Leaving your religious biases out of public life allows us all to coexist.

    But lets ignore that and see what happens. Looking forward to The Satanic Temple having a presence in all public schools. Maybe muslims can get the Five Pillars and Buddhists can get the Noble Truths… and we’re just getting started.

      They’re not ignoring it, they’re fully aware, and it’s the whole point. They want an official state religion to suppress all others. They’ve been perfectly willing and able to blatantly ignore facts, evidence, and existing law and jurisprudence to benefit one religion over all others.

    “You can’t treat religious people and religious institutions and religious speech as second-class in the United States”

    If you’re teaching spiritual things then you’re not a top-class program. Stick to facts.
