FFRF demands removal of Texas courthouse Ten Commandments monument 

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is calling on Rockwall County, Texas, to remove a newly installed Ten Commandments monument from the grounds of the county courthouse.

FFRF’s letter to the Rockwall County Commissioners Court details how the county unanimously approved the monument in May before unveiling it during a public ceremony featuring Christian prayers and speeches from religious and political figures. The monument, rendered in the King James Bible translation, prominently displays explicitly religious commandments, including directives to worship the biblical god exclusively, avoid “graven images” and observe the Sabbath.

“Courthouses are supposed to symbolize equal justice under secular law for all citizens, regardless of religion,” says FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor. “Installing sectarian scripture at the seat of county government sends the message that Christians are favored insiders while non-Christians and nonreligious residents are outsiders.”

The monument’s design and presentation make clear that it is intended to promote Christianity rather than educate the public about history.

“Far from serving a neutral historical purpose, the monument’s approval, presentation and unveiling demonstrate a coordinated governmental effort to promote a particular religious viewpoint,” FFRF Legal Counsel Chris Line writes in the letter.

FFRF notes that the unveiling ceremony itself underscored the monument’s religious nature. The event opened and closed with Christian prayer, featured a representative from First Liberty Institute, a conservative Christian nationalist legal organization, and included remarks from County Judge Frank New encouraging attendees to “embrace God’s love.”

The monument was reportedly donated by the American History & Heritage Foundation, founded by Christian nationalist activist Jason Rapert, who also founded the National Association of Christian Lawmakers.

FFRF argues that the county cannot shield the display from constitutional scrutiny merely by claiming it has historical significance.

“Claims that the Ten Commandments reflect the historical foundations of American law are historically inaccurate,” Line writes. “The United States was founded on secular legal principles derived primarily from English common law, Enlightenment philosophy and classical sources, not biblical mandates.”

FFRF points out that many of the displayed commandments, including “prohibitions on worshiping other gods” and “commands to observe the Sabbath,” are purely religious directives with no basis in American law.

FFRF’s letter distinguishes the Rockwall monument from the Ten Commandments display upheld by the Supreme Court in Van Orden v. Perry. Unlike the decades-old Texas Capitol monument at issue in that case, the Rockwall display is a newly installed, stand-alone religious monument placed at a courthouse in an overtly religious context.

FFRF is urging the county to remove the display immediately out of respect for the First Amendment and the rights of conscience of all Rockwall County residents.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is a national nonprofit organization with over 42,000 members and several chapters nationwide, including more than 1,700 members and a chapter in Texas. FFRF’s purposes are to defend the constitutional principle of separation between church and state, and to educate the public on matters relating to nontheism.

FFRF halts teacher-led Christian club at Indiana high school

The Freedom From Religion Foundation has made certain that the Mooresville Schools system in Indiana has ended an instructor-led religious club known as “BetterMan.”

A concerned member of the community informed FFRF that the school’s choir director had started a “BetterMan study” for Mooresville High School students. According to its website, BetterMan is “a Christian organization” that provides “an 11-week group study on the essentials of biblical manhood and how men can live it out at home, at work, with friends and with God.” The group’s guide for leaders makes clear the program is intended to convert participants to Christianity: “True transformation will come from God working in men’s lives. The Gospel will be clearly shared after Session 6 and that is a great opportunity to make sure you know where each guy in your group is with Jesus. Call any man who lacks faith to believe in Him!” 

FFRF communicated with the school district asking for an investigation and to ensure that none of its staff members were unconstitutionally sponsoring religious activities in its schools. “To avoid encouraging or coercing students into participating in a religious club, the district may not allow staff to be involved in student religious clubs beyond a supervisory capacity,” FFRF Staff Attorney Madeline Ziegler wrote to Superintendent Jake Allen.

It is inappropriate and unconstitutional for the district to allow staff-led religious clubs, FFRF emphasized in its letter. Public schools may not show favoritism toward, or coerce belief in or participation in, religion. It is both inappropriate and unconstitutional for public school teachers to promote, lead and organize a religious club for students and use their position at a public school to attempt to convert their students to their personal religion. This not only violates the First Amendment rights of students, but it also needlessly alienates all students and families who do not subscribe to Christianity, including the more than half of Generation Z members (those born after 1996) who are non-Christian, including the 43 percent who are nonreligious.

Allen emailed FFRF back with a positive response after the district conducted a review of the matter to bring itself back into alignment with the First Amendment. 

“As part of that review, district administration met with the staff member referenced in your correspondence and provided clear direction regarding the constitutional and legal limitations applicable to employee involvement in student religious activities,” Allen wrote. “Specifically, staff members were reminded that any student religious organizations or gatherings on school grounds must be student-initiated and student-led, and that employees may only be present in a nonparticipator supervisory capacity consistent with federal law and district expectations.”

FFRF is pleased to see its dedication to students’ rights pay off once again.

“We firmly believe that students do not need biblical teaching to make them ‘better’ people,” FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor says. “But students who desire such instruction are free to seek it from their families and churches. What students need in our public schools is a learning environment free from preaching and welcoming to all, religious and nonreligious alike.”

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is a national nonprofit organization with over 41,000 members across the country, including more than 600 members in Indiana. Its purposes are to protect the constitutional principle of separation between state and church, and to educate the public on matters relating to nontheism.

Why a BoxKing Board Game Table Works So Well for Epic RPG Campaigns

If you’ve ever run a long RPG campaign on a standard dining table, the problems show up quickly. Books pile up, maps spread wider as campaigns grow, minis get bumped out of position, and dice end up under the table. Snacks slowly take over player space until someone has to clear room for the next encounter. That is one of the main reasons more tabletop groups are moving toward purpose-built gaming furniture.

Celebrate 60 years of Star Trek with an anthology collecting all-new stories from a star-studded list of creators, including Brian Michael Bendis, Christopher Cantwell, David Walker, Ryan North, Meghan Camarena, Mike McMahan, Derek Charm, Michael Allred, Laura Allred, and more!
On September 8, 1966, Star Trek debuted on television and changed the landscape of science fiction forever, bringing us not only characters who were inspiring and smart but storytelling that shaped the way people thought about the world. Since then, every Trek show, movie, and comic has endeavored to do the same. In this seven-story collection, IDW thrills, delights, and contextualizes lore with tales from the original series Star Trek, Lower Decks, The Animated Series, Picard, and Starfleet Academy…plus a preview of the all-new Star Trek flagship title launching in 2026. Join us as we make history!

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy: Lost Contact

Join us for a brand-new adventure featuring cadets from Paramount’s Starfleet Academy as they delve into a dangerous first-contact mission!

Caleb, Genesis, Jay-Den, Kyle, and Tarima are all students of the illustrious Starfleet Academy, training to one day be upstanding commanders and communicators, boldly going, and representing progress across the Galaxy. But today, their mission is to simply execute a survey simulation on a low-oxygen, lifeless planet.

Or at least, it seems simple…until a huge storm cuts off their comms with their teachers aboard the U.S.S. Athena…and an impossibility appears. Now, they’ll have to work together and use everything they’ve learned in class to make it off the planet alive!

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy: Lost Contact #5

The conclusion to the cadets’ adventure on S’Eekay II!

Genesis Lythe screwed up. When she took charge of a planetary survey simulation exercise on an alien planet, she didn’t know she’d be forced to contend with tech-worshiping aliens silencing her and her teammates who refuse to work together—nor that her teachers wouldn’t be there as a safety net. Now, one of her best friends is injured, and despite Chancellor Kelrec’s presence, the group is no closer to returning to the safety of the U.S.S. Athena.

But there may be a way to turn it all around if only Genesis can trust in her team. School is in session, and she intends for everyone to make it out with full marks.

Star Trek: The Last Starship #10

Kirk’s war against the Emerald Chain brings him face-to-face with his most dangerous enemy yet: Admiral Sato.

When the Borg-augmented U.S.S. Omega liberates Tellar, Starfleet’s U.S.S. Challenger arrives armed with anti-Borg technology, ordering Kirk to stop at any cost. But as Emerald Chain reinforcements descend, an unexpected proposal could force these old allies to choose between destroying each other…and saving the Federation once and for all.

The explosive opening chapter of a Galaxy-shaking new arc starts here!
