Christian nationalists at work in the North Dakota state legislature. They don’t say which of the three versions of the Ten Commandments would be the one required to be displayed in every public school in the state.

A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 15.1‑09 and two new subsections to section 15.1‑09‑33 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to school board authority regarding the posting of the ten commandments and the recitation of the pledge of allegiance.

By linking both the Pledge of Allegiance and the mandate to display the Ten Commandments (some version) in schools, the Republicans behind this can accuse opponents of being both anti-Christian and anti-patriotic.

It passed the Senate 34-13 and has been passed to the House. This thing is clipping right along; that only took a week from its introduction in the Senate.
