A website that defends the Constitution of United States of America had this message for Texas fucktards who had a display about magical creationism in a public school library. The message was "Fuck you Texas assholes."

My comment: Christians are stupid fucking assholes.

Dear Dr. Hinojosa and Ms. Gonzales, Our office was recently notified of a flagrant constitutional violation that is occurring under the authority of your school and school district. This email serves as an official notice of the unconstitutional activity and a formal demand you terminate this and any similar illegal activity immediately.

Specifically, a parent of an elementary student at Somerset Early Childhood Elementary was affronted by a massive sign in the library espousing Biblical creationism. The display, in large font, proclaims, “In the beginning God created...” and depicts the Earth below the text. A photo of this display is attached herein. Because this school-sponsored Biblical creationism display emphatically violates the Establishment Clause, you should expect litigation to follow unless corrective steps are taken immediately. Indeed, because of the well-settled nature of the law on this issue, you should anticipate being held personally liable for damages. See generally M.B. v. Rankin Cty. Sch. Dist., 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 117289 (S.D. Miss. 2015) (in a case brought by the AHA, the court awarded the student $7,500 for past Establishment Clause violations, $57,367 in attorneys’ fees, and ordered the district to pay an additional $10,000 for every violation thereafter).

The American Humanist Association (“AHA”) is a national nonprofit organization with tens of thousands of members across the country, including many in Texas. We have litigated dozens of church-state separation cases in federal courts from coast to coast including in Texas and the Fifth Circuit.

It is my expectation that the religious display will be taken down immediately in light of this courtesy warning. We will not sue if the display is promptly removed. To avoid litigation brought by entities or individuals other than AHA, I recommend that you enact a policy to ensure this will not happen again. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely, Monica L. Miller
