So I have friends in Texas who have lost their license for one reason or another. This has a wider range of effect than most realize. When applying for ANY other state licensing, in any other industry, the fact that your teaching license was revoked, no matter what the reason was (it won’t say why on reports) it’s a mark against you when applying for others. All they see is oh this person HAD a state license and it got revoked so, maybe we shouldn’t grant this other one.
I think people are more afraid that this will function as successful brainwashing than they should be. As someone who went to grade school in OK, there is not a doubt in my mind that the kids won’t stand for this. I fully expect those per-classroom bibles to be systematically stolen and destroyed on a daily basis. I’m honestly a little envious that this didn’t happen while I was in school. It will be interesting to see the outcome, for sure. Don’t underestimate a high-schooler’s penchance for civil disobedience.

It’s plainly illegal, and I’m sure the goal is for SCOTUS to take it up and make it legal.
SCOTUS will just ignore any precedents and give the states the right to do what they want.
We’ve already seen this playbook in action.
We’ve been fools for relying on precedent.
You don’t rely on logic and decency. You require them, and you sanction those who act harmfully because they ignore them.
We must stop tolerating intolerance.
Mullahs rule as they please, Congress can step up any time though…
It does feel like we are being held hostage at this point.
That is certainly their hope. And there is no question it will happen if Trump gets back in.
