Do they want Baphomet in their schools? Because this is how you get Baphomet in your schools.

    Lol no. And SCOTUS has said no several times. There is no, “oops I left my Bible out and accidentally converted some kids” carve out for government employees. Religion stays at the door.

      SCOTUS has ruled against it in curriculum, but separation of church and state is from one of Johnson’s speeches, and not technically in the Constitution. I wish it were. My point wasn’t implying defense of the display. I don’t want it in schools either. I’m simply saying if they want to play by the rules of Originalism, then all churches deserve equal representation according to the Constitution.

          Do you have a link to that case ruling? I’d like to be up to date. I’m familiar with Engel v. Vitale, but that is exclusive to curriculum teaching. It does not apply to religious works on display.

            Stone v Graham was exactly this. Kentucky tried to put the Ten Commandments into schools. SCOTUS said no.

                  Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court. Stone v. Graham has not been. If a case challenges the state, they can use it as precedent.
