BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana becomes the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in public school classrooms.

Time for the Satanic Temple to step up and do their thing

The Satanic Temple is actually really bad at "their thing." They lose the majority of their cases and their primary attorney has been repeatedly sanctioned. They're 1A grifters. If you actually care about 1st Amendment protections you should be supporting groups like FFRF or the ACLU instead

You'll notice that none of the four cited cases involve them winning a suit.

"Winning a suit" is not necessary if they get their statue installed, or if the public attention results in the religious monument being moved.

Getting a republican charged with vandalism is also worth the effort.

I should note that they would not be my first choice to support, or anywhere close, especially since the guy who runs it is an *ss.

And this is broadly my point. The money we have to give to advocacy groups is limited. Stop spending it on the splashy group who manages to get angry news articles printed, give it to the people who can get things done.

The Satanic Temple regularly gets sanctioned in court, because they’re utterly incompetent buffoons. In Belle Plaine for example, the city acquiesced to threats and gave neutral treatment, and ST sued anyway, lost, then tried to sue again and got sanctioned for it.

And what also bugs me is that they go out of their way to set up the grounds for these cases from the bottom up and then still lose them. People like FFRF take actual cases, not manufactured controversies.

Winning a suit is necessary if you plan to overturn a new state law.
