How is this funny? It’s still religious doctrination. Oh I get it. Its a boomer catch phrase like “you couldn’t make this up”… Still not funny.
Its a pathetic liberal gotcha that fails to reconcile with the power of state government.
Either the sign goes up and some evangelicals vandalize it with impunity. Or the sign never goes up because school administrators don’t think the Texas AG will punish them for ignoring the law in this instance.
In this case, it doesn’t look like the flag was ever actually displayed.
Either way, evangelicals hold all the cards. Secular Liberals only manage to performatively protest in order to feel better.
Selective enforcement is the name of the game. Ken Paxton won’t be using this rule to take over a school district in Bastrop.
Rainbow background would’ve been the cherry on top
I actually looked into this back when it was originally happening and the rules were fairly strict. It specified background color and wording but it didn’t give a language so this guy did about the best you could given the rules.
However it would be a shame if someone printed a poster with UV reactive paint that changed to something else over time while it hangs.
Very slim chance this actually happened. There no actual photo of the flag, just a digital image that was created. Which means if it was not the creator of the flag, but a third person- they’d have a photo of the flag or in the least- not bothered recreating it in photoshop, but just describing it in enough detail. And if it was the creator that posted this- it wouldn’t be in 3rd person suggesting “someone” did this.
Additionally, In the rare chance it did happen- it wouldn’t be enforced.
What? You mean someone would just go on the Internet and lie like that?
the crossposts
oops, i extra checked but it seems like two idiots had the same idea at the same time
np
Black background would have been better.
Or pink.
The law specified the background color.
Legalist authorization bureaucracies will hinge the draconian punishment for failing to hang a sign on the dye used to color fabric.

I’ve always thought that the upholding of these laws should instead result in quotes and “imagery” from Islam directly…or any non-Christian religion, really.
Apart from this, what if you just donated several hundred posters at once? They all have to be displayed?
That’s where I thought it was going.
No. They’re not interested in playing fair or being consistent. They’ll simply warp the rules to fit their outcome and declare these posters noncomplaint. You can’t out-maneuver people who simply cheat.
The assholes on that side of things are a mixture of those who actually believe and want the US to be a religious state, and those who simply are using religion as a method of control. That second group is happy to see religious conflict because a) it distracts from real problems while they consolidate money and power, 2) they can use the fervor to further solidify their support form that religious base.
This is absolutely not new and has happened before in history .It’s just sad to see the US going done this path.

One… Hundred… BILLION POSTERS!
*“Not like that!”
Southern US moment
(another) Texas moment
The law requires that schools hang up “In God We Trust” signs, but I don’t believe it requires them to hang up every sign that is donated to them.
Make poster: “In god we trust…”
Second line: “we pity fools”
Is there a translation for this headline? What the hell are they saying?
What does it even mean to donate a poster?
It’s something to do with donuts.
It means this.
The way you present your message, it implies the effort was rejected statewide. That could be misleading some folks.
It was actually rejected by Carroll ISD, which is the school district covering the disproportionately white and wealthy suburb of Southlake, TX.
There are 1,021 more ISDs in Texas to go.

Very interesting read. Ty for sharing.
And there’s tons of other schools who may not reject it. What exactly are you trying to say here with the single word “rejected” and a link?
It was rejected, sorry the meme wasn’t truly what you expected.
I think it’s exactly what we expected. Hypocrisies got laid bare and pearls got clutched. I’d call it a win.
