“There are a lot of problems with that,” said Andrew L. Seidel, author and vice president of strategic communications for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, a national advocacy organization. Seidel said his group is tracking around 1,500 pieces of legislation across the country that might infringe upon the religious freedom of Americans.
His donation was not accepted by the district, but the attempt gained national headlines. “This [SB 1515] is a play from the same playbook I saw last year,” Krishna said.“It’s very authoritarian,” Krishna says. “They [conservative lawmakers] complain about indoctrination, but putting the Ten Commandments in classrooms really is indoctrination.”
When reached for comment, MIddleton’s chief of staff asked us to submit questions via email, but we did not receive a reply to those we submitted. King also did not reply to our request for comment.
