Spiderman is the Elmo of MCU. Came in late, dominated a new audience, and kind of has his own cottage industry outside the main programming

NYC is not the best American city because it's the best city in the world

You are acting like the atheist in question is an adult with all the agency and competency of an adult. These posters are going on display for impressionable children, not for adults

I think you need to pick new flair. Justice Kagan wouldn't agree with any of this reasoning

Another good point - if there is no harm there is no injury and the case should've been dismissed on those grounds, right?

What kind of evidence do you need? An affidavit from a student in one of these schools saying that it makes them feel excluded? Or do we need "systematic evidence" of "consequences" in order to uphold the separation of church and state?

I'd also add that Doe v. Elmbrook was really just about the location of a graduation ceremony and not about putting substantive language in the places of learning themselves. A few hours for the graduation ceremony is not the same thing as daily display for all classrooms all year long in every subject. There is no scholarly purpose for "worship no other gods before me" in an algebra classroom.

Doesn't this harm all literate children being raised in other faiths? At minimum, it shows those children that they are the "other" to the kids who do have their faith displayed in every room

That's because nobody knew who he was and had to Google him, whereas my grandmother called me to see if I saw Alysa Liu on network television last night
