Oklahoma State Supreme Court says the Ten Commandment Statue on Govt Property has to go

Have been following this forever, including back in December 2013, where an attorney said if the religious 10 commandments monument stayed, then the Satanists monument would have to go up. There were others, too, including Hindus and the Flying Spaghetti Monster. 

So what happened today? Oklahoma State Supreme Court 7-2 ordered the statue to be removed.

The court said that the monument indirectly benefits the Jewish and Christian faiths and is in violation of the state constitution.

According to Oklahama’s NewsOk, a 7-2 Supreme Court decision cited a clause in the Oklahoma Constitution that states: "No public money or property shall ever be appropriated, applied, donated, or used, directly or indirectly, for the use, benefit, or support of any sect, church, denomination, or system of religion, or for the use, benefit, or support of any priest, preacher, minister, or other religious teacher or dignitary, or sectarian institution as such."
