“Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain” isn’t exactly a powerful moral stricture. This commandment is only good for certain religious people and not for any secular people. #H4762 #SC #1stAmendment

In the current legislative session (2026) in South Carolina, several bills are being considered to close the primaries, meaning that voters would register for a party and then could only vote in their own party's primary. #civics

LAW BEARS FALSE WITNESS.

Do we really want the government interpreting and modifying religious doctrine for public school students? Should the S.C. Legislature produce bills that include fabricated quotes from our nation’s founders? 1/6

The 10 Commandments have no place in public schools. “Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven images” is left out of the Catholic version of the ten commandments, so these public school ten commandments posters ostracize even Catholics.

Presidential candidates are chosen through #Primaries or #Caucuses. South Carolina’s open primary lets voters choose which party’s primary to vote in. In a one-party state, that primary is often where the election actually gets decided. #civics

The very first of the 10 commandments the South Carolina legislature proposes to post in every single public classroom is “I AM the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” It snubs so many of our children who aren't a specific variety of Christian.

#scpol SC residents need to get on the phone to our state Senators and even call the governor. This law will harm women in this state.

National Prayer Breakfast is this morning. While lots of coverage about it will mention power of evangelicals, NPB was started by mainline Protestant politicians & preachers, as Beau Underwood & I documented in Baptizing America: bookshop.org/a/110819/978... 1/

H4767 demands 10 Commandments posters in every public school classroom and allows religious chaplains in public schools. Did you know that the SC Constitution has freedom of and from religion, just like the US Constitution? This bill violates both constitutions!

SC’s H4762 attributes a quote to President James Madison claiming that America’s future rests on governing ourselves “according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments.” That quote is entirely fabricated.

#Religion can be extremely harmful, so #secular groups like Secular Humanists of the Lowcountry exist partly to provide support for people who have been harmed by religion. #ReligionHarms #humanism #freethought #atheism buff.ly/D0vvw0i

Should the government modify religious doctrine for public school students? H4762 requires 10 Commandments in public school classrooms, but it’s not exactly any of the four versions of the 10C in the Bible.
