BATON ROUGE, LA. (AP) — A new Louisiana requirement that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public classroom by Jan. 1 was temporarily blocked Tuesday by a federal judge who said the law is “unconstitutional on its face.”


U.S. District Judge John W. deGravelles in Baton Rouge said the law had an “overtly religious” purpose, and rejected state officials’ claims that the government can mandate the posting of the Ten Commandments because they hold historical significance to the foundation of U.S. law. His opinion noted that no other foundational documents — including the Constitution or the Bill of Rights — must be posted.

We strongly disagree with the court’s decision and will immediately appeal,” Louisiana Attorney General Elizabeth Murrill said in an emailed statement. Murrill, a Republican, supported the law, as did Republican Gov. Jeff Landry.

Not surprising.

Now what someone has to do is take the logic of this judgement, and apply it to Pride and DEI.

That's some serious unadulterated BS. Kids don't give two craps about it. Fckn stop
 
This is the GOP with Faux "News" and Pro Israel Christians. They oppose school vouchers. So they try and try and try to ram religion into the public schools, and always get that answer from the courts... NO.

The solution isn't to ram religion into public schools.

The solution is school vouchers. Support for school vouchers requires understanding things like monopoly, free markets, choice, and the benefits of grabbing talented students from public school's guaranteed failure and allowing their parents to choose to send them to private schools with advanced classes filled with kids who want to learn. Pro Israel Christians don't like any of that, especially the preachers, because the more intelligent the human, the less likely the human is to join a Pro Israel Christian Church.
 
Religion is discussed two times and only two times the Constitution of the United States of America.

Article VI.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all exe
cutive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

First Amendment.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

There is no State Sponsored, State Mandated, State Mandated or State Funded Religion in the United States. NO matter how much so-called "Christians", will fume over this the Louisiana Law is clearly Unconstitutional.

Notice It said "congress", not the State legislatures. Before the 14th amendment States could have an official religion if their State constitution allowed it.
 
Democrats don't want the 10 commandments around schools but they want drag queens and porn books.

Democrats = perverted freaks

Democrats = evil

I say keep both out.

Pride is a moral judgement and position, same as DEI, and like religion have no place in schools.

This is great news! Those kids need to learn that lying, stealing, cussing out their folks, and murdering people is a good thing.
 
What nonsense, the states are well within their rights to post the 10 commandments within schools in their jurisdiction.


As if doing so will actually improve the education of America's kids...

There is no way to spin it. Pro Israel Christians oppose vouchers because vouchers will improve education, and THAT IS WHAT THE PRO ISRAEL CHRISTIAN OPPOSES, because doing so would DRAIN THE SUPPLY OF ABSOLUTE MORONS WHO BECOME PRO ISRAEL CHRISTIANS...
 
Nope, the 1st amendment is incorporated to the States via the 14th amendment.

That being said, I would use this as a precedent to get Pride and DEI out of schools.
The states are not establishing any religion. They aren't even promoting any specific religion. There are many forms of Christianity, from Greek Orthodox, Catholicism, Coptics, to the dozens if not hundreds of Protestant sects.

The federal government has supported and promoted religion with tax payer dollars since the Constitution was signed. Who do you think pays the chaplains in the military?

Godless commies attack this notion in schools because they know children can't mount a viable defense and parents are not full time activists.

Judge deGravelles is a handpicked political hack who was appointed by B. Hussein O.

There is no "religious purpose" at all. The 10 Commandments don't belong to any particular faith at all. They were a message from Almighty God to the people and have nothing to do with religion.

BTW, the laws in this country are based on the 10 C's. "Thou Shalt not Steal" is the basis of our laws against robbery and burglary, ex. given.

Still a line drawn too close to endorsing a religion. Best to keep it ALL OUT.

I can see it now. President Obama, shitting in his diapers, sucking his mom's nipple asking his mother and father to give him the named of an American Backed Iraqi Dictator just to piss ReNaziKlans
