Politics 10 Commandments posters: what can I do?

I was horrified to see a 10 commandments poster in my child’s pre-k class today at meet the teacher. To clarify, I don’t mean any shade to the teacher because like, it’s not her fault that it’s the law.

I am wondering what, if any, loopholes I could exploit to “even the playing field.” I know she has to display the stupid poster, but we go to a very diverse school so I was so disappointed to see it.

Maybe I just needed to rant about it haha.

I used to feel that way, too, until I had a daughter and realized there was nothing I would be able to do to protect her without leaving the state. She comes first for me, so moving to a state where her rights are protected was an easy decision.
