I don't know why state legislators pass laws that they know are unconstitutional.

And why is this unconstitutional (other than the opinion of 3 un-elected oligarchs)?

They're pushing to see how far they can go. That's why it's so nice to see it when a court slaps them down.

So they can grandstand for the mob and then blame the judges for being "out of touch". That's why the Framers codified basic rights in the Constitution and made the amendment process so cumbersome.

This one sounds borderline though. The kids get to opt out. I don't have a problem with the schools informing their parents if they do.
