🚨 Indiana Call to Action — HB 1086 🚨
Indiana lawmakers have introduced HB 1086, a bill that would force every public school classroom and school library to display the Ten Commandments.
This is not a gray area.
The U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled that posting the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms is unconstitutional.
Pushing this bill forward would expose school districts to costly taxpayer-funded lawsuits while undermining the religious neutrality public schools are required to uphold.

- Facebook User: I feel like lawmakers who propose bills that already have a settled precedent should face consequences. Stop wasting tax payer money!
- Zachary Parrish: Facebook User for real, writing legislation with the sole purpose of attempting to trigger a lawsuit in hopes to overturn precedent is insane.
