In 2005, #SCOTUS held that such displays in a pair of #Kentucky courthouses violated the #Constitution. At the same time, the #court upheld a #TenCommandments marker on the grounds of the #Texas state Capitol in #Austin.
#Louisiana #law #ChurchAndState #Christian #Evangelism #NewApostolicReformation #education #PublicSchool #Trump
The mandate was signed into #law last June by #Republican #Louisiana Gov. #JeffLandry.
The court’s ruling backs an order issued last fall by US District Judge John deGravelles, who declared the mandate #unconstitutional & ordered state #education officials not to take steps to enforce it & to notify all local #school boards in the state of his decision.

Wenn übrigens irgendwo Jana Highholder, die O'Bros (Maximilian und Alexander Oberschelp), Johannes Hartl, Jasmin Neubauer, Leonard Jäger, Bill Johnson usw. auf Veranstaltungen auftauchen, würde ich empfehlen, einen weiten, sehr weiten Bogen um diese Veranstaltungen zu machen.
Sehr unvollständige Liste.

Die Queerfeindlichkeit der NAR hat übrigens theologische Gründe: Die NAR glaubt, dass queere Menschen, allen voran trans* Personen, die sog. Translobby, Schlüsselpositionen in Staat, Religion und Gesellschaft (Erziehung, Religion, Familie, Geschäftswelt, Regierung/Militär, Kunst/Unterhaltung, Medien) besetzen und kontrollieren wollen, um das Christentum zu bekämpfen und die Wiederkunft Jesu zu verhindern (die nach ihrer Lehre nur erfolgen kann, wenn NAR-Christen eben diese Schlüsselpositionen kontrollieren). Transgender sei eine Erfindung Satans, um das "Gott schuf die Menschen als Mann und Frau" zu zerstören, wodurch Menschen von Gott getrennt würden und dem Satan dienen würden.

Genaugenommen wohl ein Anhänger der neo-charismatischen New Apostolic Reformation (von denen es in den USA immerhin 33-35 Millionen geben soll).
Die NAR hat diverse Sonderlehren, die sie besonders gefährlich machen, etwa die Kingdom Now Theology, den Dominionism und die Seven Mountains Strategy. Alle diese Lehren zielen darauf ab, die Trennung von Staat und Kirche zu vernichten und letztendlich einen Gottesstaat zu errichten.
Die NAR ist vor allem in den USA (und hier vorrangig unter weißen und hispanischen Christ*innen) und in Lateinamerika aktiv, aber sie arbeitet auch daran, in Europa Einfluss zu gewinnen, natürlich auch in Deutschland.
Mit evangelikaler Theologie hat die NAR eher wenig zu tun - die meisten ihrer Lehren sind aus evangelikaler Sicht Irrlehren. Aber sie nutzt konservative Themen wie Abtreibungsverbote, Queerfeindlichkeit, Klimawandelskepsis, Atom/Öl/Gas statt erneuerbare Energien usw. als Scharniere, um in konservativen evangelikalen und katholischen Gemeinden und in der Politik (Union, AfD) Einfluss zu gewinnen.

Evangelikale, pfingstliche und charismatische Gemeinden, nicht nur in Freikirchen, sind ein Ziel für die Versuche der New Apostolic Reformation, ihre Sonderlehren (Dominionismus, Seven Mountains Strategy, Kingdom Now Theology usw.) zu verbreiten – auch in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz.
Und ich fürchte, die meisten Gemeinden sind darauf gar nicht vorbereitet und können die Irrlehren dieser Bewegung nicht als solche erkennen und abweisen.
Und so bekommt diese Bewegung Einfluss in Gemeinden und arbeitet daran, sie zu transformieren.
Besonders gefährdet sind pfingstliche und charismatische Gemeinden und evangelikale Gemeinden, die für charismatisches Gedankengut empfänglich sind (Lobpreis, Heilung...)
Die NAR transportiert nicht nur Sonderlehren, sondern auch Queerfeindlichkeit, vor allem Transfeindlichkeit, Ableismus usw.
Besonders mit Queerfeindlichkeit und dem Thema Abtreibung kann sie bei konservativen Gemeinden andocken, es dient als Scharnier zwischen der neo-charismatischen NAR und nicht charismatischen konservativen (oft evangelikalen und pietistischen) Gemeinden.

Der Attentäter, der in den USA gestern zwei Menschen ermordet und mindestens zwei Menschen schwer verletzt hat, wird meist als Evangelikaler identifiziert.
Wenn ich es richtig sehe, ist er Anhänger der New Apostolic Reformation und des Dominionism.

#JohnRoberts is almost always in the majority in major cases, & he asked probing questions of both sides during the argument. But he also has consistently voted on the side of #religious rights in the court’s cases that have expanded the role of faith in #public life.

#JohnRoberts said programs where #SCOTUS deemed #religious #schools eligible for playground #grants & school #vouchers were also “created & controlled by the state.”
He asked if the relevant test was whether the #school was “a creation & creature of the state? Because all of those were,” he said. “And we held it under the #FirstAmendment, you couldn’t exclude people because of their religious belief.”
#law #Constitution #ChurchAndState #NewApostolicReformation #education #ActivistCourt
Chief Justice #JohnRoberts, a key vote on the court, voiced skepticism that this case was any different from prior situations where #SCOTUS ruled that #religious entities could not be excluded from receiving #public money.
Roberts questioned the opponents’ argument that #CharterSchools are creations of the #state & therefore that the state may bar religious entities from participating.
#law #Constitution #ChurchAndState #NewApostolicReformation #education #ActivistCourt
Garre said no, because those #schools would still need to meet the state’s #academic #standards & could not focus their #curriculum on those subjects. As a #CharterSchool, St. Isidore would have to meet those standards, too, Garre has argued.

#Alito invoked several hypotheticals of what he called “progressive” #schools setting their own #curriculum, including being “an #LGBTQ+ friendly school” w/ #books that present #SameSex couples as “a perfectly legitimate lifestyle,” [#bigot] or teaching #history from the standpoint of #Project1619, which sought to reframe how the #UnitedStates talks about #slavery.

Justice #SamuelAlito asked #Oklahoma atty Gregory Garre if #CharterSchools could be more flexible in their #curriculum & give families more alternatives to choose from in #public #education. Garre said all #PublicSchools, including charters, have to conform to the state’s curriculum requirements.

The conservative justices asked why a #religious #CharterSchool was different from a religiously run food bank or adoption agency that receives state government money through contract agreements.
Justice Brett #Kavanaugh signaled his support for St. Isidore’s application, saying that excluding religious #schools from the charter school program “seems like rank discrimination.”
#law #SCOTUS #Constitution #ChurchAndState #NewApostolicReformation #education #FederalistSociety #ActivistCourt
Justice #ClarenceThomas pressed atty Gregory Garre on #Oklahoma’s position on the pivotal question at hand: that St. Isidore is a #PublicSchool, not a #private institution participating in a public program. Garre referenced the OK Supreme Court’s ruling that agreed.
“This court has a lot of authority, but I don’t think it has the authority to second guess [that],” Garre said.

The attorney representing #Oklahoma’s top #law enforcement officer told #SCOTUS that backing the #Catholic #CharterSchool would upend the traditional definition of #PublicSchools.
“It would result in the astounding rule that states not only may, but must fund & create public #religious #schools,” said attorney Gregory Garre, calling such a notion “an astounding reversal from this court’s time-honored precedents.”

Justice #ElenaKagan said she saw huge incentives for #religious groups of various faiths to start #CharterSchools if #SCOTUS ruled it was permissible. “There’s a line out the door,” she said, “if you can do this consistent with your religious beliefs.”
That would also disfavor #religions that don’t conform to other state requirements on #curriculum, she said.
#law #Constitution #ChurchAndState #NewApostolicReformation #education #FederalistSociety #ActivistCourt
Justice #ClarenceThomas asked atty Michael McGinley, representing the proposed St. Isidore #Catholic #school, what it would take for a school like this to be considered a state actor—& thus presumably unable to teach #religion.
“It requires government creation & control,” McGinley argued. He cited cases involving entities where government control was not complete & said that wasn’t enough for them to be considered a state actor.
#law #SCOTUS #ChurchAndState #NewApostolicReformation #education
A skeptical Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson asked whether #religious groups should be entitled to start #CharterSchools even though #Oklahoma charter #law seeks to establish only #secular #schools.
“As I see it, [St. Isidore] is not being denied a benefit that everyone else gets,” Jackson said. “It’s being denied a benefit that no one else gets, which is the ability to establish a religious #PublicSchool.”
