Jack, sign the petition: Keep religion out of schools. America is not a theocracy.

SIGN THE PETITION
Breaking news: the Bible will be incorporated into public Oklahoma classroom curriculums effective immediately–this is now a requirement per the Oklahoma State Superintendent.

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution clearly states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Introducing religious teachings into public schools is a direct violation of our constitution and shoves Christian theocracy in our faces while isolating religious minorities. Our educational institutions must remain secular to ensure that all students receive an unbiased and inclusive education regardless of their faith or beliefs.

America is not a Christian theocracy, and our schools should reflect the diversity and inclusivity that define our nation. Sign the petition: Keep religion out of our schools.

P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding a clear separation of church and state in our educational system:

Jack, sign the petition: Keep religion out of schools. America is not a theocracy.

The United States was founded on the principle of religious freedom, enshrined in the First Amendment of the Constitution. Public schools, as extensions of the state, must remain secular to honor this constitutional mandate. Introducing religious teachings into the curriculum violates this principle and alienates students who do not share the same beliefs.

States are introducing religious doctrine into public school systems. Most recently, Louisiana has become the first state to require the display of the Ten Commandments in every classroom. Florida introduced a new teacher training program that promotes far-right Christian nationalism. This trend threatens not only our nation's founding principles but the very fabric of our diverse society.

Sign the petition: Keep religion out of schools. America is not a theocracy.

SIGN THE PETITION
The push for religious instruction in schools is part of a broader agenda of Christian nationalism, which seeks to reshape American democracy to reflect a specific religious ideology. America's strength lies in its diversity. Schools should be places where all students feel welcome and included regardless of their religious backgrounds. Forcing religious doctrine into the curriculum alienates students who do not share those beliefs and undermines democratic values.

It is time to reaffirm our commitment to education without religious interference. We must advocate for policies that uphold the separation of church and state and resist any efforts to turn our educational institutions into platforms for religious propaganda.

America is not a theocracy, and our schools should reflect the diversity and inclusivity that define our nation. Sign the petition: The United States is not a theocracy! Keep religion out of our schools.

Thank you for fighting with us,
