The Ten Commandments must be displayed in Louisiana classrooms under requirement signed into law
Louisiana has become the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom. Republican Gov.
Louisiana has become the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom under a bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry on Wednesday.
The GOP-drafted legislation mandates that a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in “large, easily readable font” be required in all public classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities. Although the bill did not receive final approval from Landry, the time for gubernatorial action — to sign or veto the bill — has lapsed.
Opponents question the law’s constitutionality, warning that lawsuits are likely to follow. Proponents say the purpose of the measure is not solely religious, but that it has historical significance. In the law’s language, the Ten Commandments are described as “foundational documents of our state and national government.
What a shithole state.
I'm so sick and tired Of these Christophascist Trying to force their pedophile religion on me and my kids.
Incoming Satanic Temple poster right beside it!
They'll probably publish the abridged version, sadly. The full version reads, as we well know:
Thou shall not commit adultery but, if thou doest, thou shalt pay off the other woman so that it harmeth not thy chances in the presidential election. Nor shall it turn thy supporters against thee when they heareth of it.
Only thing historically significant about the 10 commandments is that the founding fathers didn't want them in classrooms
I'd just hang my classroom full of different religious and non-religious commandments.
The christian one will be there ... somewhere.
Probably covered by the 10 commandments of Tacos:
spoiler
- Thou shall stuff to capacity, and then a little more
- Thou shall honor thy taco father and taco mother
- Thou shalt not skimp on the cheese, and lest it be fresco, thou shall let it melt
- Thou shalt not charge $6 for a taco
- Thou shalt not use crappy tortillas
- Thou shall be consistent with size
- Thou shalt not overcharge for avocado
- Thou shall stop referring to fusion tortilla wraps as tacos
- Thou shalt not overlook breakfast ingredients
- Thou shall have pride in your tacos, or not have tacos at all
We need to enact a law that requires states to either adhere to the Seperation of Church and State or have every single church in their state have their religious tax exemption status revoked. Churches that get it revoked is mandatorily required a tax payback to the IRS of up to 5 years or more. If a church is unable to payback owed taxes once revoked will have their churches taken and land converted to into free public usage.
This country is so completely fucked.
Hmm… doesn’t specifically basing any laws on a universally recognized organized religion by definition a violation of Church and State? Doesn’t explicitly stating a religious totem qualify as favoring one religion over others? Doesn’t this also violate the Lemon Test since it in no way can be seen as secular in nature to put religious text in any form inside a classroom that is funded by the state? Seems they wrote themselves the reason to strike down the law into the law itself.
Well it's about time that children learn not to boil a baby goat in the milk of its mother and to not, under any circumstances, put yeast in a blood sacrifice.
What? They aren't talking about the only ten commandments in the Bible actually called the ten commandments?

remember that it's the gays that are indoctrinating our children!
remember that it's the moslems that want sharia law!
remember that it's the librulls that don't respect that constitution!
In the language of the law, the Ten Commandments are “foundational documents of our state and national government.”
Uh, no they fucking aren't, lmao
Get ready for the Baphomet statue.....
Someone should pull a Martin Luther and nail the part of the constitution that separates church and state to the entrance of the biggest school in the state.
Christo-fascist theocratic shithole of a country.
I deserve to have my seven tenets displayed.
Every patriotic American in Louisiana has an obligation to go into schools and rip those things down.
This will kill religion faster than the priests
The story has been corrected to clarify that the time for gubernatorial action did not lapse. The governor signed the bill Wednesday.
Maybe they should add an eleventh? “Though shalt not covet your cousin, or anyone more closely related, or children… and since you made me have to put this in writing you’re all going to hell.”
That is so fucking evil.
"Fascists continue to fascist"
“If you want to respect the rule of law, you’ve got to start from the original lawgiver, which was Moses”
Bollocks, more like.
The earliest known laws are from The Code of Ur-Nammu from Mesopotamia written on tablets around 2100–2050 BCE. If Moses existed, he was probably chiselling away at his tables six or seven hundred years later.
So I demand that these laws replace the 10 Commandments in schools. Who could forget such classics as:
- If a prospective son-in-law enters the house of his prospective father-in-law, but his father-in-law later gives his daughter to another man, the father-in-law shall return to the rejected son-in-law twofold the amount of bridal presents he had brought.
- If a man's slave-woman, comparing herself to her mistress, speaks insolently to her, her mouth shall be scoured with 1 quart of salt.
- If a man, in the course of a scuffle, smashed the limb of another man with a club, he shall pay one mina of silver.
- If a man stealthily cultivates the field of another man and he raises a complaint, this is however to be rejected, and this man will lose his expenses.
They love being unconstitutional when it is in their interest.
This is a great idea. Conservatives have likely never read them before they will be in for a culture shock.
Every classroom from K to college and obvious lawsuits?
Party of fiscal responsibility…
I think lawyers in these states lobby for this shit. What a grift. Take more federal tax dollars.
Fuck your fairy tales.
And why that version in particular?
Time to just Blame the Bible for the shit show we are in right now -.-.
Happy Pride. 🌈
I'm an anarchist that loathed doing the pledge of muh legance, as I don't believe in God.
Bless our country my ass. Under God my ass.
I mean they could be used as a teaching tool... Not to follow fictional deities...
Can we add an eleventh commandment?
Thou shall not entwine church and state.
Sounds like something The Satanic Temple may have an issue with.
🤮
i guess that position makes all amendments null and void then? including the 2nd to the US constitution?
In what language?
Relevant Beau of the Fifth Column:
the time for gubernatorial action — to sign or veto the bill — has lapsed.
What does this mean? Is this Shroedinger’s law? Is the law in effect?
