    You are absolutely correct that it is a First amendment, federal law, being violated and that the executive branch has a role enforcing it.

    As I said however, we are a land of precedent and it’s up to the judicial interpretations of the First amendment. Historically, this is how these matters have always been handled…

    As far as what could Biden do… well I’m not sure if it would make much difference.

    1. Set guidelines with the Dept of Education. Doubtful that this would have any impact. There’s probably already something there regarding this
    2. Funding. They could do what the executive branch did with alcohol laws and withhold funding from things like roads until compliance is met. I would say you could withhold money from schools but obviously that’s not really fair to the kids and the republicans probably want that anyway
    3. They could bring lawsuits through the DoJ. Likely the best course of action but there’s already lawsuits filed that are gonna end up being kicked up to the SC I bet

    Probably some other things that I’m not thinking of right now since I’m drinking beer but you get the idea

      Didn’t the Supreme Court just say Biden could execute the Supreme Court justices for being terrorist and he’d have immunity?

        Well, yeah. Sinking down to their level makes us no better really. Not that I don’t enjoy thinking about that
