I’ve taught world religion to high schoolers before. I’m 100% in favor of it - I think it helps immensely with empathy and understanding the world. It’s a lot less easy to believe that all Muslims are swarthy murderous masses itching to kill infidels if you know the basic tenets of the religion. And most Christians don’t understand the Bible either. I am absolutely delighted to teach about the history of the texts and their interpretations.
Something like having all of the different religious tenets put up would make perfect sense in a high school world history classroom. However, none of that has any business being a in a middle school science classroom.

The rule, as written, states that any private individual may present a poster or framed copies of the Ten Cs, rather than purchasing them with public funds. The displays must be a minimum of 16 inches wide and 20 inches tall, with text legible from anywhere in the room. Each classroom in a public elementary or secondary schools must then display the Ten Commandments in a prominent location in each classroom.
The school itself can’t provide the material and the material must match the specifications as outlined in the legislation.
Teachers going out and posting additional or contrary material will almost certainly be subjected to retaliation by the district school board or the state.
