When history teacher Chris Dier sued Louisiana two years ago for mandating that the Ten Commandments be displayed in classrooms, he said it was not about taking a stand against Christianity.
“It’s a defense of many different types of values, including civil liberties and religious freedoms,” Dier said, who teaches at a New Orleans high school. “I spent over 16 years teaching students that the constitution protects everyone of every faith – students of no faith too.”
Just because teachers are defying the mandates doesn’t mean the states implementing them shouldn’t be sued to get the mandates overturned.
Open defiance of an unjust law is often a necessary first step in overturning it, unfortunately.
Teachers defying a dumb law is reason it SHOULD be overturned
