4. Yes I think it could backfire or just fall flat, a stunt which is an expensive waste of time.

It is inconsistent with our Constitution to put religious documents in public school classrooms.
We have separation of church and state in this country.

If the US Supreme Court allows it, then they further erode their credibility.
And it will backfire in that way, yes.

Southern states continue to look foolish. So another backfire.

The irony is that I don't know if it will have any impact on students or not.

Does placing commandments in every classroom assist children in their moral development?

Probably not.

Professional educators like to see some data before they start spending a great deal
of money on interventions.

So we can see this is just an expensive poetical stunt.
If you are not in the GOP cult, the optics are bad.
