The ACLU Condemns a Bill That Would Allow the Resurrection of a Ten Commandments Monument at Capitol

OPMX

The American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma blasts a house bill, calling it a blatant attempt to resurrect a Ten Commandments Monument on public land…despite a clear ruling stating its’ unconstitutionality. Allie Shinn is Director of External Affairs of the Oklahoma ACLU.

Shinn points out voters resoundingly defeated a state question in November that would have removed some barriers between church and state, allowing such a monument. She says any further attempt to put a religious monument on capitol grounds is ‘a monumental waste of time and money’. She’s urging citizens to contact senators to vote no on House Bill 2177.
