Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...
...or whatever. Fuck it, it's probably some really obscure subsection way down in the legal code.

“Thou shalt not kill… *unless it is a passive byproduct of fully preventable food insecurity”

It'll probably get to stay this time

- If you post the Ten Commandments in a classroom, students will read the rule against committing adultery, and Sen. Cora Neumann had a question about that situation.
  The Montana Legislature already has told schools to notify parents about anything related to sex — even teaching Romeo and Juliet — so parents can have their children “opt out” of the lesson in question.
  Given that consideration, Neumann wondered how teachers would handle the situation with the Ten Commandments — from a practical standpoint.
  “This is actually going against our own Legislature’s ruling of the last session of exposing children to explicit sexual references,” said Neumann, D-Bozeman.
  I would love to see a court square the circle on how bringing up adultery has nothing to do with sex.
  
  Abrahamic hypocrisy on being simultaneously obsessed with and disgusted by sex.
