Federal Judge Blocks Louisiana Law That Requires Classrooms To Display Ten Commandments.

Why can't people just ignore what they don't like? They can just view the commandment picture/plaque as a decoration which all schools are allowed to have anyway and at the end of the day, how much attention is truly paid towards things like decorations? They could be like a lady wondering if her husband notices the haircut that she got which I am guessing that most husbands do not notice such things.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. It isn't like the schools are wanting the kids to sign a documentation about the commandments against their will or anything like that. I also highly doubt that the picture/plaque will vocally start preaching to any kid/teacher who walks by it.

Because of something called, "The Separation of Church and State". Under the Constitution there no one single designated State Religion. You can worship your version of your Non-Existent Sky Man all you want, but you do not have the right post his words in public public building.

Not everyone is a so-called, Christian". By posting these totally ridiculous commandments, one religious practice being put above others and that is unconstitutional. The people who our Bill of Rights specified no Religious Test and Freedom of Religion. I am a proud Atheist. I get and tired of people trying (and failing) at pushing their religion on others. Keep your version of your non-existent Sky Man to yourself.

I don't know you or your kids. Do you want me to guess? Kids: Not honoring thy Mother and Father. You: Stop coveting thy neighbor's husband. Yeah, the really good looking one.

I'm just being silly. However, taking God's name in vain happens with every 'God damn it'.

Time to point out that Trump coveted many women over the years, he is married and does not respect the women he married to keep his dick in his pants.

I am Episcopal, the closest thing we actually do have to a state religion here (Church of England). I agree that public schools should keep themselves out of the religion business.

He has the record for broken commandments.

I read in this thread earlier that "The 10 Commandments aren't from a religion, because they are a direct message from God." I'm still digesting that one. If God doesn't have anything to do with the Church, then there's no need for separation from the State.

Wallpaper the schools with the 10 Commandments. The students won't read them anyway. Thou shalt read the 10 Commandments daily, isn't one of them.

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.”

Federal judge blocks Louisiana law that requires classrooms to display Ten Commandments

Louisiana Attorney General Elizabeth Murrill says the state will ask a federal appeals court to quickly stay a lower court's order declaring unconstitutional a law requiring that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public classroom by Jan. 1.

apnews.com

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.

SCOTUS will support this by 8-1 or 7-2

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.

You don't become more intelligent by getting an education. You become more educated. Educated and indoctrinated to believe exactly the rubbish you spouted here.

^ That's a true statement. But vain doesn't describe swearing. God says not to bring Him into a promise, pledge, guarantee, because He will hold you to it. When you say, "God Damn it", or, "I swear to God", He hears you and takes you seriously. Best not to bring Him into it and risk being found guilty of not keeping your word. That is malediction.

"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

But it has another meaning. Vain also means worthless, empty and without fruit. It means fruitless.
To whom much is given, much is expected. If you announce that you are a Christian, and then do nothing for Christ's sake, then you are a Christian that carries an empty cross.

LOL.

Thats the part you don't like.

That's the part I marched to change...

Conditioning by the State in the religion.

What nonsense, the states are well within their rights to post the 10 commandments within schools in their jurisdiction.

False, per the SCOTUS.

We Christians will keep what we stand for to ourselves as soon as everyone else keeps what they stand for to their selves.

God bless you always!!!

This is of course 100% wrong.

You absolutely do become more intelligent. You learn how to think and how to reason and how to learn.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

Science, math, reading, grammar, history and civics should be taught in schools.
Not someones god, except from a historical perspective. Or maybe a psychological one.

I get what you are saying here, but putting up a picture/plaque of the ten commandments is not the same as having a class where people learn about religions. Having such a class would only be going a whole lot further if anything.

God bless you always!!!

Not so at all. In a religion class, several religions would be covered.

 

[Moonglow]

That's some serious unadulterated BS. Kids don't give two craps about it. Fckn stop

Trump is a serial adulterer....

I know. I was only pointing out that a ten-commandment picture/plaque being put up is nothing compared to a religions class.

God bless you always!!!

Holly

P.S. Actually at the end of the day, the ten commandments going up may not be any different compared to a flag of any form being put up and flown as well.

 

[Rogue AI]

False, per the SCOTUS.

Link?

Should Ilhan Omar be forced to remove her head covering in the floor of congress? Nancy Pelosi removed a long standing rule of no head coverings on the floor of congress specifically for Mrs Omar.

Thoughts?

You don't become more intelligent by getting an education. You become more educated. Educated and indoctrinated to believe exactly the rubbish you spouted here.

So if you get educated enough to notice stars are actually larger than figs, you are less intelligent, because Pro Israel Christians "know" stars are the same size as figs... or something like that....


The biggest pile of RUBBISH is the BULLSHIT the Pro Israel Christian "believes."
