As long as the Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and others can put up their religious texts, it shouldn't be a problem.Gov. Jeff Landry signed legislation on Wednesday requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in every public classroom in Louisiana, making the state the only one with such a mandate and reigniting the debate over how porous the boundary between church and state should be.

Both Stalin and Mao tried to stamp out religion and replace it with the State. China still does try to stamp out religions they don't like.
No, that is still a problem.

Are you denying they tried to stamp out religion?
Like Trump.
Where are you going to stop? Satanism? Wiccan? Mormon?

Freedom of Speech. As long as all are allowed the same rights, it's not a problem.

Nope. This is not a states’ rights thing.

Translation: I refuse to admit that both Mao and Stalin actively sought to stamp out religion.
No worries since most intelligent, educated, sane and honest people already know the truth regardless if you admit it or not.

Joseph Stalin, as the second leader of the Soviet Union, tried to enforce militant atheism on the republic. The new “socialist man,” Stalin argued, was an atheist one, free of the religious chains that had helped to bind him to class oppression. From 1928 until World War II, when some restrictions were relaxed, the totalitarian dictator shuttered churches, synagogues and mosques and ordered the killing and imprisonment of thousands of religious leaders in an effort to eliminate even the concept of God.Why Stalin Tried to Stamp Out Religion in the Soviet Union | HISTORY
Joseph Stalin led a uniquely brutal campaign against religion and religious leaders.
During the Cultural Revolution, religion became a target of Mao’s campaign to eliminate the “Four Olds” – “old things, old ideas, old customs and old habits.” All religious activities were banned, and religious personnel were persecuted. Paramilitary Red Guards attacked or destroyed many temples, shrines, churches and mosques, and some were abandoned, closed or confiscated.92 Chinese people who wanted to maintain their faith practiced in secret.Government policy toward religion in the People’s Republic of China – a brief history

Maybe now others will see why I have as little respect for the far left as I do the far right. Both are a bullies who insult those who disagree with them.

Comprendè? Or will you stick to your own willful ignorance?
You don't have to recite something to violate the 1st. Government is to remain neutral--do noting to enhance or hinder religion. The same would apply to Jewish symbols, Islamic symbols, Hindu, etc.
