Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...
...or whatever. Fuck it, it's probably some really obscure subsection way down in the legal code.

If you post the Ten Commandments in a classroom, students will read the rule against committing adultery, and Sen. Cora Neumann had a question about that situation.
The Montana Legislature already has told schools to notify parents about anything related to sex — even teaching Romeo and Juliet — so parents can have their children “opt out” of the lesson in question.
Given that consideration, Neumann wondered how teachers would handle the situation with the Ten Commandments — from a practical standpoint.
“This is actually going against our own Legislature’s ruling of the last session of exposing children to explicit sexual references,” said Neumann, D-Bozeman.
I would love to see a court square the circle on how bringing up adultery has nothing to do with sex.
Abrahamic hypocrisy on being simultaneously obsessed with and disgusted by sex.
