Unconstitutional. Fucking shit hole state.

There needs to be a fine or something for legislators who write unconstitutional laws. Give ‘em one freebie a year just in case they mess up. But for everything else, there needs to be a consequence to fighting against democracy.

Last time this came up, the suggestion was for the "poster or framed document that is at least eleven inches by fourteen inches" where "[t]he text of the Ten Commandments shall be the central focus of the poster or framed document and shall be printed in a large, easily readable font" to be printed in Arabic.

HB 71 also specifies the exact language that must be printed on the classroom displays.

A clever teacher would have a class project on why such a display is unconstitutional and post students' responses all around this display.
