Current Events > LA becomes 1st state to require the Ten Commandments be posted in classrooms

(+) Yeah! (+)

Petition to have Louisiana's new abbreviation as LO.

Also this is a huge overstep from the separation of church and state. Time to force them to put the Satanic Tenets in schools as well. (They're probably more useful anyway. THey are:
I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III
Ones body is inviolable, subject to ones own will alone.
IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
V
Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

Im concerned with our children looking and seeing what Gods law is.

I'm sure she would be very concerned if children were seeing any other "God's law."

Really wish they would stop inserting religion into law. Keep your Christianty to yourself.

"The purpose is not solely religious"

Ok, bud. Then plaster a bunch of historical documents AND documents of other prominent faiths in every classroom or SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU CHRISTOFASCIST FUCKS

This would still be unconstitutional if it followed this original incident as found in McCreary v ACLU by the way. The religious intent history of the ten commandments display would remain.

I mean, if you want to push for the Ten Commandments to be put up in schools...maybe you shouldn't simultaneously support a Presidential candidate who breaks like, half of them?

someone tell me this will get overturned and it is illegal

It's a red and dumb state. So, it won't happen.

This sort of crap is causing an exodus of people from these red states. I grew up in Louisiana and left when I was 23 or 24. I went through the entire education system down there, including going to a Catholic elementary school and I had a glimpse at the state university.

The entire place operates on family connections and financial donations. The cops were relentless about marijuana and most college kids want to live somewhere where its legal to smoke. Most families dont want their kids having religion forced onto them and most people want to live somewhere that has womens rights. Therefore, blue states are being overwhelmed and the federal government isnt doing anything. If states are making life unlivable, then maybe the federal government should supersede their power.

And from what I've heard, the prison system there is ghastly and ruins lives for no reason as well. Doesn't it also have really terrible birth rates as well? And people die earlier than other states? Or am I confusing that with Mississippi?

Only 2 are laws anyway, don't steal, don't kill.

I had no idea that the United States was communist.

Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana may as well be wedged together with how shit the Republicans handle those areas.

Im not concerned with an atheist. Im not concerned with a Muslim, she said when asked about teachers who might not subscribe to the Ten Commandments. Im concerned with our children looking and seeing what Gods law is.

This from the same people whining about schools being liberal indoctrination centers.

They are going after separation of church and state bet it's next to go

No doubt, there's already Republicans like Boebert and I think Greene as well saying the Cons. doesn't call for it even though it specifically states no endorsement of any particular religion and obviously since they'd be legislating their views that would be an endorsement of their specific religious beliefs.

It's amazing how it really is always projection with them.

I wish more people could see these fascist fucks for what they are. They don't even do a good job of hiding it anymore.

Or maybe they do and there's a worrying amount of people who outright want a fascist regime as long as it serves their particular interests.

That's the point. The one's leaving are more likely to be Dem voters. The one's staying are backwater Republican voters who can't read and will blame Dems for their misfortune. It's been the Republican plan for decades now.

USA always pick Protestant.

Makes sense, especially in Louisiana where the majority of Christians are Baptists.

Does this guy think the Bible is set in the United States?

Christofascism is alive and well.

I think the book of Mormon is the only one that makes claims about Jesus going to America or something (with a lot of insane claims like the whites being the first Native Americans before being driven out of their own land from the dark skin Native Americans lol).

You actually think Republicans actually follow the commandments and not use them to spread hate against they don't like? The third and ninth commandment are violated constantly by them.

they only thing they like is 2a the rest they dont give a fuck about
