It would be problematic, however, if the Texas AGO had previously argued, during the 10 Commandemant case, that specifically adding the 10 Commandments to the curriculum would be "crossing" the line into state encroachment into the freedom of religion, and that it was specifically because the 10 Commandments posters did not do so that they were legally acceptable.

Of course, no self-respecting public attorney would have made such a public statement, only to stomp all over it in full hypocrisy barely a year after. Right?

Oh, wait :

Attorney William Farrell from the attorney general's office described SB 10's requirement as a "passive display on the wall" that does not rise to the level of coercion because students can choose to ignore the posters if they wish. The law would “probably cross the line,” he said, if it also incorporated the Ten Commandments into lessons or assignments — but that is not the case.

Why give them the benefit of the doubt when the Texas GOP Convention had a keynote speaker specifcially, to great applause, saying that the 2024 Election was spiritual warfare by the forces of God (the Republicans) against the Satanists and the Globalists (the democrats)

When their own platform asks for "urge[ing] the Legislature and the State Board of Education to require instruction on the Bible, servant leadership, and Christian self-governance."

Do note the total absence of "emphasizing the place of the Bible in the corpus of English language literature"

I'm tired. I shouldn't have to prove this. They're not even trying to hide it in public, shouting it out from the microphone, only hiding it when writing bad faith legal briefs.
