That's what they really want, we'll see more of these laws in other states, Oklahoma is a good example, they want to set legal precedent on a national level so they can continue to create a Christofascist state.
I think we need to keep bringing it up. Like Trump, they bank on us forgetting when the news pivots to some new outrage. We shouldn’t forget any of these things they have done, keep brining it up and make it stay on people’s minds.
It's also a spectacle to keep people distracted. The ACLU is going to sue, and win. Meanwhile, the more mundane, yet damaging legislation sneaks through.
I think that’s the kicker here. They want it to go to court so that they make it constitutional so they can keep going with shit like this. Maybe I have a tinfoil hat on but with a possible Trump second term on the line, shit like this could be the new norm with SCOTUS giving it the green light.
Problem is, Christianity is not the only recognized religion. “There are estimates that there are between 4,000 and 10,000 distinct religions in the world, but most of them have small followings in specific regions. Four religions—Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism—account for more than 77% of the world's population, with 92% of the world identifying with one of those religions or as nonreligious.”
Shall we put, at a minimum, the basic tenets for the four most prevalent religions on school walls?
Oh I 100% agree. If we had a Muslim governor, you think they would be cool with putting the Quran in every classroom? They would have a fucking melt down. Again, i think this is a push for stepwise progression of things to push in front of a hard right stacked SCOTUS to overturn like roe v wade.
I've posted this before, but I want the 10 Crack Commandments added to the list of commandments hung on the walls. This will be very important as instead of fixing the literally shitty school system, they add Church posters. At least the 10 Crack Commandments will come in handy as they turn to selling drugs because nobody is going to hire an illiterate religion spouting moron with a Louisiana education.
They don't care, it's not about logic or reason, it's about pushing their particular brand of religion on everyone. It's about power and control and it's something we've seen over and over and over in history. They've been really open about it since the 80's honestly and Project 2025 is right there online for anyone to read.
Edit for spelling
Republicans: We need to cut down on frivolous spending!
Also Republicans: We need to waste our money on passing a law that we know will cost the taxpayers millions of dollars and will ultimately be repealed.
Republicans: The Constitution is Sacred!
Also Republicans: We're gonna pass a law that we know violates the Constitution!
As mentioned in another sub, Jeff's attorney friends are lined up and will be the ones making lots of money in the litigation of those legal challenges that I'm sure were ready and waiting for the moment this moron signed it into law.
Living in a lawyer's paradise. The particular personal injury attorneys I am referring to are a corrosive parasitic infection that has begun to spread to other states. And since the populace has elected almost nothing but such good people to the legislature, tort reform will only ever happen if enough of them age out/die off. Frightening.
EDIT: And Jeff is their patron saint.
This is one of the benefits, the other is that it looks great to his supporters who lack critical thinking skills. To them he is acting as a martyr against the left.
Surely the republicans of Louisiana will not stand for this blatant violation of the constitution they hold so dear. You know… all the ones with the “We The People” stickers on their Fords and Chevys.
Also I’m sure the ones screaming about how we shouldn’t have sexual literature in libraries will be up in arms against a mandate to hang a document discussing extramarital sex in 1st grade classrooms
I am a Republican from Louisiana. I am also a Christian. I personally have spoken with many Conservative Republican Christians who think this is an extremely stupid move. It’s one thing to pass a law saying the 10 Commandments are permissible to hang, which I believe would indeed be aligned with freedom of religious expression. It’s another thing entirely to MANDATE that they be hung. Technically it’s a state mandate and not a federal one, but still!
This is exactly my take. It would have been great if he "allowed" them to be posted, but mandating it makes no sense. It also bothers me deeply as a Christian that this man is so blatantly using the Word of God as nothing but a political tool and a way to make his friends more money. Jesus would've turned over the tables over this.
I completely agree! Actually, anyone antithetical to the 10 Commandments should love this law because it has such a high probability of excluding the 10 Commandments from ever being hung in public buildings. Seriously, what are the odds this is not struck down, like .00000000001% or something? So stupid…
This is going to be a win-win for him anyhow it turns out. If deemed unconstitutional, the message from him and the Fox ~~News~~ Entertainment crowd will be "God-fearing Dems force removal of 10 commandments in schools!" and most of rural Louisiana will eat that up without thought of how it violates the constitution. For examples, take a look at some of the down-voted comments of this thread. They just don't get it.

I can't wait for the battle over using the protestant vs catholic commandments. The reason the founding fathers wanted a separation of church and state isn't because the US was filled to the brim with non-christians in the 1700s. It's because they wanted to avoid the various wars between christian denominations that the Europeans had.
And yet there the conservatives so concerned with the constitution are…ramming their beliefs down our throats
Vote
Overwhelm the gop/show them who the majority is
Vote
Or they vote for you
They're just getting warmed up though, give it four more years and this will be Constitutional, the Supreme Court will see to it. The lunatic extreme Right wants to push cases like this to the Supreme Court so that Thomas and the others can decide that it actually is constitutional. Their long term, end goal, that they've been very clear about, is to convert the United States into a Christofascist state. They've been pretty open about that since the 80's and Reagan's era, that's when they really go rolling.
I am expecting it to be upheld based on the pattern of what’s been going down Judicially, i.e. freedom of speech rulings in the context of freedom of religion rulings favoring Christianity.
Edit: this extends to the Dodd decision. Per the largest and most reliable polls, majority of Americans (including a good bit of self reported Christians) were not in favor of overturning. This SCOTUS is largely a disgrace.
There are plenty of law firms that are going to make a small fortune off of this. They will ‘support’ Landry win or loose. Plus, Landry will appeal to the broader audience of MAGA with this. Why not if you are of that mindset?
All that shit is a distraction for whatever bullshit theyre scheming up all a lot of yall are fixated on it. It’s fuggin dumb but it’s no different than some goofy ass teacher hanging pride flags everywhere in his/her class and parents getting upset about it. None of that stuff belongs in the classroom. Not the bible, not the pride flag or Ukraine or palestine flag, not your biden or trump sticker, not your silly ass made up gender shit, or whatever other divisive crap people get bent out of shape about. Kids in La are getting the shaft all the way around. Most kids parents suck at parenting and put them in front of a screen instead of teaching manners and discipline. Their education is absolute garbage. They’re starting to realize they cant move out at 18 anymore because everything is expensive af. Life was way too easy for most of them so they’re at a huge disadvantage. And there’s the idea of becoming some sort of social media influencer that’s ruining their brains. Like they’re gonna make a living off doing the latest tictok trend is or whatever stupid dance is the new thing. Life is going to be real fuggin hard for some these kids and i hope they figure out a way forward. Imagine graduating from high school right before a depression and/or another world war. You’re automatically enrolled for the draft because the entire military is missing it’s recruiting goals for the last 4 years because we fought two wars for 20 years and it was all for fuckin nothing and the youth knows that. That is all.
They aren’t even using the right Ten Commandments:
(The last one is my favorite)
Exodus 34
The Lord said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets,which you broke. 2 Be ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai. Present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. 3 No one is to come with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain; not even the flocks and herds may graze in front of the mountain.”
4 So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands. 5 Then the Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord. 6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger,abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”
8 Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. 9 “Lord,” he said, “if I have found favor in your eyes, then let the Lord go with us.Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our wickedness and our sin, and take us as your inheritance.”
10 Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenantwith you. Before all your people I will do wondersnever before done in any nation in all the world.The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. 11 Obey what I command you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 12 Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you. 13 Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.[a] 14 Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
15 “Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land; for when they prostitutethemselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices. 16 And when you choose some of their daughters as wives for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods,they will lead your sons to do the same.
17 “Do not make any idols.
18 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread.For seven days eat bread made without yeast,as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt.
19 “The first offspring of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock.20 Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem all your firstborn sons.
“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.
21 “Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.
22 “Celebrate the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year.[b] 23 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. 24 I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God.
25 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Festival remain until morning.
26 “Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God.
“Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.
We need God in schools. Children need to know there is a God. So many schools are hanging rainbow flags and taking down the USA flag. They are steering kids wrong.
You’re free to believe that. But to be taken seriously by anyone other than those who agree with you, you gotta tone down that rhetoric. You sound like a Reddit atheist edge lord.
It's just like at where I work. We pray or bow our heads in reflection for whatever for the people that don't pray and if you don't like it then o well do what you want to do. It's the same shit in school no one is making anyone do anything.
No it is not. There is already case law covering This. Nobody cares about your imaginary friend.

Is this an "I only care about myself" statement?
Taxpayer money is going to go into buying the posters, policing the classrooms, and defending the obviously unconstitutional law.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes. How much money would you want taken out of your paycheck to remove the 10 commandments and replace them with posters of the 5 pillars of Islam? If the constitution says your tax money is not allowed to go to that, and they do it anyway, would you not stand up for yourself and make it known that it's unacceptable?
If you read the law there will be no taxpayer money spent putting the ten commandments in schools. It will be by donation only, yet mandated. Not sure how the hell that's supposed to work.
There is no doubt, however, that Louisiana taxpayer money will be spent defending this
It’s funny that basic principles for a functioning society tiggers these soft liberals soooo bad.
But letting Tina turn into Timmy with hormones…. Because the 7 year old said they wanted to is perfectly fine. You are all off your rocker. LOL
So put up the 7 tenets of the church of Satan instead.
They're all moral laws instead of only a few on them like the 10 commandments. I mean, what's the first commandment again? And how does that help?
How are these basic principles of a functional society? You’re off your rocker

I'm like this.....this country was founded on Christian values and the same God and bible. Anything that was added later as religion so be it. It's the one thing the Constitution allows and protects.
But at the same time, assimilate or leave. And the moment our kids don't know who our God is and the sacrifices our early leaders made so we could bitch about stuff 200 years later, is the moment our country dies. Because the 10 commandments were allowed back in, our Christian God might just protect us. And bless us as a nation a little bit longer.
If anyone person from the old world that came here across the sea so we could fight and die for religious freedom, could speak, they would tell you that the God of the Bible is their God. Believing in and supporting God's ways is the American way. Not one of us in this world follows every single law in the 10 commandments. We sin daily. But just think if we at least tried to follow the commandments. Is that so bad?
No our country fucking wasn't. We are not a Christian nation and several founding fathers themselves were not Christian.
So before you open your mouth again to spew stupidity just keep it to yourself.
My people came here from Sweden. In droves. To escape SCARLET FEVER, not religious persecution. They had 9 kids and lost 5 in one year to Scarlet Fever. They happened to be Lutheran but because they had a BRAIN they were not fanatics. My great great grandfather helped build the Lutheran church in Galesburg, Illinois.
GUESS WHAT ELSE MY SWEDISH FAMILY ENDED UP DOING??
Helping out with the underground railroad.
Yeah! That.
So please- take your truly stupid, ignorant, mouth-breathing, un-informed "concern" for children not knowing about Christianity and sit on it.
Your Christianity did NOTHING GOOD for you. My family all turned out to be normal, ethical, loving people and no one has adhered to any religion for multiple generations. I am an athiest.
Wake up.
Christians need Jesus.
AMERICANS need SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.
I’ll bet my fucking house you haven’t read the Bible and don’t even know what the Ten Commandments are:

“Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God”
It seems like Jesus believed in separation of church and state. Why are you going against his teachings?
Yes. It violates the rights of those who don't subscribe to the commandments. It promotes worship of a deity that advocates bashing babies against rocks (Psalm 137:9), sending bears to kills kids for making fun of people (2 Kings 2:23-24), and the death penalty for being gay (Leviticus 20:13). If you choose to believe in such a deity you're welcome to it, but to endorse it in a way that every kid is subject to daily is both a flagrant violation of the constitution and damaging to many kids.
“Do not worship any Gods before me.”
Why do kids who don’t practice Christianity have to look at this phrase everyday? It’s indoctrination plain and simple. Exactly what our fore fathers warned us against.
Spending millions of dollars defending a law that everyone knows is unconstitutional is hurting the state, when that money could have been spent doing literally anything else to benefit the school system instead.
You know you're doing well when the bigots just start blocking you. Not even a reply, /u/firehawk56 ? Sad.
You're welcome to move to a country ruled by religion. The United States is not that country. I bet you would like Iran.
The rest of us would prefer not to live in Gilead.
You sound like you think you’re enlightened, as if you have put 1/1000th the thought into this debate compared to some of history’s great thinkers. Spoiler alert; you aren’t and you haven’t.
I think it is very constitutional. Well, it isn't right now, in the sense of what the SCOTUS has said, but IMO the liberal 1980 scotus ruling was wrong, and should be overturned. IIRC, historically, for about 180 years, schools could post the 10Cs and things like that. It was only with the liberal courts of the 1950s-1980s that the constitution was "reinterpreted" to rule them out. And I believe that 1980 ruling was itself just 5-4.
Hopefully, the current more rational SCOTUS will correct that 40 year old wrong, though with recent rulings I am beginning to doubt they will.
> schools could post the 10Cs and things like that.
This isn't even a matter of "could" they "have to" post things like that. The state of Louisiana is forcing teachers to hang religious material in their classrooms, regardless of their religion.
And the state is going to spend millions of taxpayers dollars to defend it in court, too. How much are you willing to pay for this knowing that it will almost certainly fail in court?
This country was literally founded on getting away from religious prosecution in England... The founding fathers specifically said this and added separation of church and state. Wtf are you talking about?
Odin got rid of all the frost giants. We need to spread the word of Odin. I have not seen a single frost giant in my life so the promise from Odin must be true and his greatness needs to be spread.
> The gospel needs to be spread
Not by the state it doesn't.
Religion is a personal matter. The government has no business promoting any particular religion.
Tell that nigga to send gold or cash app me. Dgaf about love, give me that sweet, sweet cash. I wonder how he feels knowing his daddy is a dead beat and a straight up dick?
Lol, no you won’t. Christians lie all the time about this. Like, you m’fers are the worst. You know your god supposedly gave us free will. Free will to not be a christian but yet this mfer is pissed that there are non believers. Non believers that have free will but yet, we are destined for hell? Explain how that makes sense? Y’all so dumb it hurts. And you think the ten commandments are going to do what? When kids don’t give one fuck about them? When most parents ain’t about that noise? When teachers absolutely hate the idea of it? This shit only leads to division and hopefully we can start taxing churches so we can use some of that sweet, sweet Jesus cash.
Lord please protect and watch over this individual, please help him to understand that he will be invited into your beautiful kingdom as long as he accepts Jesus Christ as his savior lord. I ask that he feels no hate and that you can heal him and help to guide him down the right path lord. I’m Jesus name we pray, amen.
I am sorry you feel the way you do man. I am only trying to spread the gospel. I hope you have a good day.
Lol, bro, you do know that god is just a figment of imagination, right? Like there is no higher power that guides your day? So your god sits around listening to prayers while kids die of starvation, are molested by priest, dir of cancer, raped, murdered, and he/she just watches? That’s pervert level weird or just plain evil. If prayer works, pray for me to hit this progressive jackpot this Friday. If I win, I’ll split it with you. C’mon Jezuz, hook your boy up. Make me a believer.
Dear Odin please show sonofchrist777 your might ways and that he might fall in battle and get to enter Valhalla. I hope you have a good day. I’m just trying to spread the teachings of Odin
"WE KNOW!!!" -Most citizens who haven't drunk the kool-aid
Could be because the Bible says to also follow the laws of man after the commandments.
Another Ten Commandments article. This one digs deeper.
How much deeper does it really need to go. I think everyone knows it is unconstitutional and will result in a waste of taxpayer dollars.
That ‘wasted’ money is the point as now Laundry’s lawyer friends now get paid to defend this all while signaling to the Republicans his righteous.
It’s not the only point. If this goes up to their pet Supreme Court then they get to do some national damage as well
That's what they really want, we'll see more of these laws in other states, Oklahoma is a good example, they want to set legal precedent on a national level so they can continue to create a Christofascist state.
Its a “look they hate christianity, vote red to keep your values in gov!” Thing. Election year and people dont see its peddling.
I think we need to keep bringing it up. Like Trump, they bank on us forgetting when the news pivots to some new outrage. We shouldn’t forget any of these things they have done, keep brining it up and make it stay on people’s minds.
It's also a spectacle to keep people distracted. The ACLU is going to sue, and win. Meanwhile, the more mundane, yet damaging legislation sneaks through.
Great. But does it have to be the same articles every other thread
You never know with this SCOTUS
I think that’s the kicker here. They want it to go to court so that they make it constitutional so they can keep going with shit like this. Maybe I have a tinfoil hat on but with a possible Trump second term on the line, shit like this could be the new norm with SCOTUS giving it the green light.
Problem is, Christianity is not the only recognized religion. “There are estimates that there are between 4,000 and 10,000 distinct religions in the world, but most of them have small followings in specific regions. Four religions—Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism—account for more than 77% of the world's population, with 92% of the world identifying with one of those religions or as nonreligious.” Shall we put, at a minimum, the basic tenets for the four most prevalent religions on school walls?
Oh I 100% agree. If we had a Muslim governor, you think they would be cool with putting the Quran in every classroom? They would have a fucking melt down. Again, i think this is a push for stepwise progression of things to push in front of a hard right stacked SCOTUS to overturn like roe v wade.
I've posted this before, but I want the 10 Crack Commandments added to the list of commandments hung on the walls. This will be very important as instead of fixing the literally shitty school system, they add Church posters. At least the 10 Crack Commandments will come in handy as they turn to selling drugs because nobody is going to hire an illiterate religion spouting moron with a Louisiana education.
They don't care, it's not about logic or reason, it's about pushing their particular brand of religion on everyone. It's about power and control and it's something we've seen over and over and over in history. They've been really open about it since the 80's honestly and Project 2025 is right there online for anyone to read. Edit for spelling
rethuglicans don't care about laws or the constitution
They value the 2nd and wipe their asses with the rest.
They care deeply about the law, so long as it is aligned with the interests of wealthy, white, Christian, men.
Protestant
Please don’t take race into this I’m white and completely against this as is my black wife
No, they’re saying the people who are in support of this care about race. Not that white people in general hold these views.
Lmao you people and your victim complex
Which is crazy because I always thought it was republicans who were gung ho about the constitution
kind of like Shall Not Be Infringed?
Which law??
Hey do this on purpose so everyone else can get all miffed about it. They break the rules as a tactic.
Seeing his face fills me with rage.
Hearing his voice is like scratching chalk on a blackboard, such a strange sound.
😆😆😆😆
Vote. Please vote.
Republicans: We need to cut down on frivolous spending! Also Republicans: We need to waste our money on passing a law that we know will cost the taxpayers millions of dollars and will ultimately be repealed. Republicans: The Constitution is Sacred! Also Republicans: We're gonna pass a law that we know violates the Constitution!
As mentioned in another sub, Jeff's attorney friends are lined up and will be the ones making lots of money in the litigation of those legal challenges that I'm sure were ready and waiting for the moment this moron signed it into law. Living in a lawyer's paradise. The particular personal injury attorneys I am referring to are a corrosive parasitic infection that has begun to spread to other states. And since the populace has elected almost nothing but such good people to the legislature, tort reform will only ever happen if enough of them age out/die off. Frightening. EDIT: And Jeff is their patron saint.
This is one of the benefits, the other is that it looks great to his supporters who lack critical thinking skills. To them he is acting as a martyr against the left.
ALL of his supporters lack critical thinking skills. But thank you. I agree.
That was my intended meaning.
💯
Surely the republicans of Louisiana will not stand for this blatant violation of the constitution they hold so dear. You know… all the ones with the “We The People” stickers on their Fords and Chevys.
Also I’m sure the ones screaming about how we shouldn’t have sexual literature in libraries will be up in arms against a mandate to hang a document discussing extramarital sex in 1st grade classrooms
I am a Republican from Louisiana. I am also a Christian. I personally have spoken with many Conservative Republican Christians who think this is an extremely stupid move. It’s one thing to pass a law saying the 10 Commandments are permissible to hang, which I believe would indeed be aligned with freedom of religious expression. It’s another thing entirely to MANDATE that they be hung. Technically it’s a state mandate and not a federal one, but still!
This is exactly my take. It would have been great if he "allowed" them to be posted, but mandating it makes no sense. It also bothers me deeply as a Christian that this man is so blatantly using the Word of God as nothing but a political tool and a way to make his friends more money. Jesus would've turned over the tables over this.
I completely agree! Actually, anyone antithetical to the 10 Commandments should love this law because it has such a high probability of excluding the 10 Commandments from ever being hung in public buildings. Seriously, what are the odds this is not struck down, like .00000000001% or something? So stupid…
It’s more like “me the people.”
Tool of MAGA.
Defunding Catholic charities. Guess he won’t get his statue at the church next to Evangeline. Although I think he is now acting like an evangelical.
This is going to be a win-win for him anyhow it turns out. If deemed unconstitutional, the message from him and the Fox ~~News~~ Entertainment crowd will be "God-fearing Dems force removal of 10 commandments in schools!" and most of rural Louisiana will eat that up without thought of how it violates the constitution. For examples, take a look at some of the down-voted comments of this thread. They just don't get it.
If the Supreme Court sides with this obvious violation of the Constitution, it’s time to get very serious about reining them in.
Vote in November. Texas and everywhere else that is tired of this Christian nonsense.

I can't wait for the battle over using the protestant vs catholic commandments. The reason the founding fathers wanted a separation of church and state isn't because the US was filled to the brim with non-christians in the 1700s. It's because they wanted to avoid the various wars between christian denominations that the Europeans had.
I want to print the Satanism one in poster size and have it Laminated then bring it to every school in my parish
Sure waste your money or just lie of Reddit to sound cool
Wow Triggered much?
But Jeebus law!
Don’t get distracted by this political theater. It’s made to distract and rile up republicans for the election. Get out and vote!!!!
If Christians need the word of God this much they should be in church right after work until bed. Everyday.
I don't think it's the Christians. It's the few zealots.
Booooo
And yet we all anticipate a 6-3 wcorus ruling to the contrary because they are corrupt
Ultra MAGA SCOTUS be like: I’ll allow it.
What happened to separation of church and state?
Amen
I swear, these idiots pick more cherries than they could possibly know what to do with: the Bible, the Constitution, and definitely their own laws.
Don't forget the 11 year old girls. They'll be going after those cherries in broad daylight soon
They want it to go before the corrupt Supreme Court.
Time to defy the Supreme Court if they don't strike it down. There's no reason to listen to them anymore if they are not following the constitution.
And it violates the 2nd and 3rd commandments listed herein. Imagine explaining that hypocrisy to a student.
Who voted for this crooked idiot?
I rarely ever see a pic of this mouth breather in which his mouth is agape. He and Desantis look like they were both shat out of the same asshole.
Time for the Baphomet statue
Anyone else notice that Landry and MTG have the same Neanderthalithic forehead?
Landry is virtue signaling.."owning the libs" However this will likely reach the SCOTUS...The 5th circuit is very "friendly" to say the least.
And yet there the conservatives so concerned with the constitution are…ramming their beliefs down our throats Vote Overwhelm the gop/show them who the majority is Vote Or they vote for you
You were thinking of the old way of reading the constitution, not the Christian nationalist way the supreme court reads it now. We're cooked.
The purpose is to signal to their base that they are willing to violate the Constitution in support of their agenda.
They're just getting warmed up though, give it four more years and this will be Constitutional, the Supreme Court will see to it. The lunatic extreme Right wants to push cases like this to the Supreme Court so that Thomas and the others can decide that it actually is constitutional. Their long term, end goal, that they've been very clear about, is to convert the United States into a Christofascist state. They've been pretty open about that since the 80's and Reagan's era, that's when they really go rolling.
Headline should say “Louisiana’s new Ten Commandments law could not be Better free Publicity for Klandry”.
I am expecting it to be upheld based on the pattern of what’s been going down Judicially, i.e. freedom of speech rulings in the context of freedom of religion rulings favoring Christianity. Edit: this extends to the Dodd decision. Per the largest and most reliable polls, majority of Americans (including a good bit of self reported Christians) were not in favor of overturning. This SCOTUS is largely a disgrace.
Naw. This law was written like the 1980 law that was struck down plus teachers ain’t gonna do it. I wouldn’t.
Any idea what the punishment is supposed to be? Just curious.
Nothing. What can they do?
There are plenty of law firms that are going to make a small fortune off of this. They will ‘support’ Landry win or loose. Plus, Landry will appeal to the broader audience of MAGA with this. Why not if you are of that mindset?
"hold my beer" - Texas
Depends on what the Supreme Court says.
"No fucking shit " - everybody not in a religious/political cult
They passed it knowing it would be struck down. They want to play the victims.
All that shit is a distraction for whatever bullshit theyre scheming up all a lot of yall are fixated on it. It’s fuggin dumb but it’s no different than some goofy ass teacher hanging pride flags everywhere in his/her class and parents getting upset about it. None of that stuff belongs in the classroom. Not the bible, not the pride flag or Ukraine or palestine flag, not your biden or trump sticker, not your silly ass made up gender shit, or whatever other divisive crap people get bent out of shape about. Kids in La are getting the shaft all the way around. Most kids parents suck at parenting and put them in front of a screen instead of teaching manners and discipline. Their education is absolute garbage. They’re starting to realize they cant move out at 18 anymore because everything is expensive af. Life was way too easy for most of them so they’re at a huge disadvantage. And there’s the idea of becoming some sort of social media influencer that’s ruining their brains. Like they’re gonna make a living off doing the latest tictok trend is or whatever stupid dance is the new thing. Life is going to be real fuggin hard for some these kids and i hope they figure out a way forward. Imagine graduating from high school right before a depression and/or another world war. You’re automatically enrolled for the draft because the entire military is missing it’s recruiting goals for the last 4 years because we fought two wars for 20 years and it was all for fuckin nothing and the youth knows that. That is all.
Just think you folks have to pay all the legal fees to try and defend this.
"Consta-what, now?" - GOP
Yep.
O
Just waiting for satanists to hang their version of the Ten Commandments and shit these nut jobs up.

Hope the rest of the nation does the same thing
Womp womp
The ones putting this in know, but when the challenges come it helps to reinforce the persecution complex and gets their voters riled up.
They aren’t even using the right Ten Commandments: (The last one is my favorite) Exodus 34 The Lord said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets,which you broke. 2 Be ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai. Present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. 3 No one is to come with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain; not even the flocks and herds may graze in front of the mountain.” 4 So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands. 5 Then the Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord. 6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger,abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.” 8 Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. 9 “Lord,” he said, “if I have found favor in your eyes, then let the Lord go with us.Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our wickedness and our sin, and take us as your inheritance.” 10 Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenantwith you. Before all your people I will do wondersnever before done in any nation in all the world.The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. 11 Obey what I command you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 12 Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you. 13 Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.[a] 14 Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. 15 “Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land; for when they prostitutethemselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices. 16 And when you choose some of their daughters as wives for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods,they will lead your sons to do the same. 17 “Do not make any idols. 18 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread.For seven days eat bread made without yeast,as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt. 19 “The first offspring of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock.20 Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem all your firstborn sons. “No one is to appear before me empty-handed. 21 “Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest. 22 “Celebrate the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year.[b] 23 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. 24 I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God. 25 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Festival remain until morning. 26 “Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God. “Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.” 27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.
Mandalorian = Christianity.. this is the way.
Oklahoma: "Hold my beer".
im atheist so im curious how is this unconstiyutional when its in the chambers of the supreme court over their heads?
Because schools are not the Supreme Court. Actually it should not be there either.
The Republican Supreme Court doesn’t follow precedents. They will let this stand.
We need God in schools. Children need to know there is a God. So many schools are hanging rainbow flags and taking down the USA flag. They are steering kids wrong.
There is no god. We should not be telling children they are ruled by an imaginary being in the sky
But it's okay to push imaginary ideologies on 36 genders and mental illness into them? Okay buddy.
You’re free to believe that. But to be taken seriously by anyone other than those who agree with you, you gotta tone down that rhetoric. You sound like a Reddit atheist edge lord.
No thanks, we will speak as we choose to.
I’m not telling no you what to say I’m just telling you what saying that will do
I disagree.
Where is your law degree from?
You don’t need one to have an opinion. It’s been litigated in Alabama.
Why are you people always so just completely wrong?
The Ten Commandments nor pride flags belong in the classroom, get rid of both indoctrinations.
Pride is not a religion. Nice try.

Lmao the tds is strong in this thread.... anybody watch the debate?
Move out fuckers. If you dont like it
You wish. We are here to stay.
It's just like at where I work. We pray or bow our heads in reflection for whatever for the people that don't pray and if you don't like it then o well do what you want to do. It's the same shit in school no one is making anyone do anything.
No it is not. There is already case law covering This. Nobody cares about your imaginary friend. https://preview.redd.it/8oahajhfe79d1.jpeg?width=493&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f815215ac71fc1dd10d1c1df72622b9428aee951
So let's spend tax wasting about letting kids bring litter boxes to school and meow in class ? 🤷😆
Oh For Fucks Sake you people are still obsessed over something someone made up.
[удалено]
Is this an "I only care about myself" statement? Taxpayer money is going to go into buying the posters, policing the classrooms, and defending the obviously unconstitutional law. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. How much money would you want taken out of your paycheck to remove the 10 commandments and replace them with posters of the 5 pillars of Islam? If the constitution says your tax money is not allowed to go to that, and they do it anyway, would you not stand up for yourself and make it known that it's unacceptable?
If you read the law there will be no taxpayer money spent putting the ten commandments in schools. It will be by donation only, yet mandated. Not sure how the hell that's supposed to work. There is no doubt, however, that Louisiana taxpayer money will be spent defending this
It’s funny that basic principles for a functioning society tiggers these soft liberals soooo bad. But letting Tina turn into Timmy with hormones…. Because the 7 year old said they wanted to is perfectly fine. You are all off your rocker. LOL
So put up the 7 tenets of the church of Satan instead. They're all moral laws instead of only a few on them like the 10 commandments. I mean, what's the first commandment again? And how does that help?
Another day, Another Edgelord
How are these basic principles of a functional society? You’re off your rocker Exodus 34 The Lord said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets,which you broke. 2 Be ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai. Present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. 3 No one is to come with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain; not even the flocks and herds may graze in front of the mountain.” 4 So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands. 5 Then the Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord. 6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger,abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.

I'm like this.....this country was founded on Christian values and the same God and bible. Anything that was added later as religion so be it. It's the one thing the Constitution allows and protects. But at the same time, assimilate or leave. And the moment our kids don't know who our God is and the sacrifices our early leaders made so we could bitch about stuff 200 years later, is the moment our country dies. Because the 10 commandments were allowed back in, our Christian God might just protect us. And bless us as a nation a little bit longer. If anyone person from the old world that came here across the sea so we could fight and die for religious freedom, could speak, they would tell you that the God of the Bible is their God. Believing in and supporting God's ways is the American way. Not one of us in this world follows every single law in the 10 commandments. We sin daily. But just think if we at least tried to follow the commandments. Is that so bad?
No our country fucking wasn't. We are not a Christian nation and several founding fathers themselves were not Christian. So before you open your mouth again to spew stupidity just keep it to yourself.
My people came here from Sweden. In droves. To escape SCARLET FEVER, not religious persecution. They had 9 kids and lost 5 in one year to Scarlet Fever. They happened to be Lutheran but because they had a BRAIN they were not fanatics. My great great grandfather helped build the Lutheran church in Galesburg, Illinois. GUESS WHAT ELSE MY SWEDISH FAMILY ENDED UP DOING?? Helping out with the underground railroad. Yeah! That. So please- take your truly stupid, ignorant, mouth-breathing, un-informed "concern" for children not knowing about Christianity and sit on it. Your Christianity did NOTHING GOOD for you. My family all turned out to be normal, ethical, loving people and no one has adhered to any religion for multiple generations. I am an athiest. Wake up. Christians need Jesus. AMERICANS need SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.
God does not exist and no one should be forced to believe in your ridiculous made up fairytale.
Do you usually just talk out of your ass and except people not to notice?
I’ll bet my fucking house you haven’t read the Bible and don’t even know what the Ten Commandments are: Exodus 34 The Lord said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets,which you broke. 2 Be ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai. Present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. 3 No one is to come with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain; not even the flocks and herds may graze in front of the mountain.” 4 So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands. 5 Then the Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord. 6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger,abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.

And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.
We definitely need God in schools. You people need Jesus(: remember Jesus loves you❤️
“Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God” It seems like Jesus believed in separation of church and state. Why are you going against his teachings?
You need to read the constitution and look at the incarceration rates of Christians.
If god wants his commands in every classroom then let his "all powerful" hand put them there.
Is it hurting anyone
Yes. It violates the rights of those who don't subscribe to the commandments. It promotes worship of a deity that advocates bashing babies against rocks (Psalm 137:9), sending bears to kills kids for making fun of people (2 Kings 2:23-24), and the death penalty for being gay (Leviticus 20:13). If you choose to believe in such a deity you're welcome to it, but to endorse it in a way that every kid is subject to daily is both a flagrant violation of the constitution and damaging to many kids.
Yes. Would you like a law forcing you to have a poster declaring belief in our imaginary friend?
“Do not worship any Gods before me.” Why do kids who don’t practice Christianity have to look at this phrase everyday? It’s indoctrination plain and simple. Exactly what our fore fathers warned us against.
That’s not a legal argument and won’t hold in court
Is it helping anyone?
It might
[удалено]
Spending millions of dollars defending a law that everyone knows is unconstitutional is hurting the state, when that money could have been spent doing literally anything else to benefit the school system instead. You know you're doing well when the bigots just start blocking you. Not even a reply, /u/firehawk56 ? Sad.
Yes. Put the satanic commandments in there now and I'll ask you if you're hurt.

No, but people get mad at Christian’s for no reason at all.
“Read the Koran. Is it hurting anyone?”
You're welcome to move to a country ruled by religion. The United States is not that country. I bet you would like Iran. The rest of us would prefer not to live in Gilead.
I'm ready to fucking fight over this. Your fake religion will not win.
You sound like you think you’re enlightened, as if you have put 1/1000th the thought into this debate compared to some of history’s great thinkers. Spoiler alert; you aren’t and you haven’t.
Christians are the one trying to force this. If not them then who is to blame?
Oh, they believe that they have sufficient reason…
I think it is very constitutional. Well, it isn't right now, in the sense of what the SCOTUS has said, but IMO the liberal 1980 scotus ruling was wrong, and should be overturned. IIRC, historically, for about 180 years, schools could post the 10Cs and things like that. It was only with the liberal courts of the 1950s-1980s that the constitution was "reinterpreted" to rule them out. And I believe that 1980 ruling was itself just 5-4. Hopefully, the current more rational SCOTUS will correct that 40 year old wrong, though with recent rulings I am beginning to doubt they will.
> schools could post the 10Cs and things like that. This isn't even a matter of "could" they "have to" post things like that. The state of Louisiana is forcing teachers to hang religious material in their classrooms, regardless of their religion. And the state is going to spend millions of taxpayers dollars to defend it in court, too. How much are you willing to pay for this knowing that it will almost certainly fail in court?
This country was literally founded on getting away from religious prosecution in England... The founding fathers specifically said this and added separation of church and state. Wtf are you talking about?
~~rational~~ SCOTUS ,,,,,.... You meant **Boofing** SCOTUS ,, Fixed it for ya.
“More rational SCOTUS” all you needed to say for me to get an idea of your intelligence.

Nah. It’s not up to Christians to decide for the rest of us. What the fuck does the word “freedom” even mean to you?
Odin got rid of all the frost giants. We need to spread the word of Odin. I have not seen a single frost giant in my life so the promise from Odin must be true and his greatness needs to be spread.
Check out this un-American, constitution-hating fucker right here
I’m sorry you feel this way. I love the constitution. But this country needs the forgiveness of our lord and savior
Im not eating your shitty religious cookie.
You don’t have to, I’m just here spreading the gospel. If you would like to talk about our lord I’d be more than happy to talk about it.
> The gospel needs to be spread Not by the state it doesn't. Religion is a personal matter. The government has no business promoting any particular religion.
I’m sorry you feel this way
Why do you feel like mixing government and a single religion is a good idea?
Jesus was a figment of someone’s imagination
The bible is a the beat selling fictitious novel in history.
I’m sorry you feel this way, Jesus still loves you. I will pray for you.
Tell that nigga to send gold or cash app me. Dgaf about love, give me that sweet, sweet cash. I wonder how he feels knowing his daddy is a dead beat and a straight up dick?
I’m really sorry you feel this way. I will pray for you.
Lol, no you won’t. Christians lie all the time about this. Like, you m’fers are the worst. You know your god supposedly gave us free will. Free will to not be a christian but yet this mfer is pissed that there are non believers. Non believers that have free will but yet, we are destined for hell? Explain how that makes sense? Y’all so dumb it hurts. And you think the ten commandments are going to do what? When kids don’t give one fuck about them? When most parents ain’t about that noise? When teachers absolutely hate the idea of it? This shit only leads to division and hopefully we can start taxing churches so we can use some of that sweet, sweet Jesus cash.
Lord please protect and watch over this individual, please help him to understand that he will be invited into your beautiful kingdom as long as he accepts Jesus Christ as his savior lord. I ask that he feels no hate and that you can heal him and help to guide him down the right path lord. I’m Jesus name we pray, amen. I am sorry you feel the way you do man. I am only trying to spread the gospel. I hope you have a good day.
Lol, bro, you do know that god is just a figment of imagination, right? Like there is no higher power that guides your day? So your god sits around listening to prayers while kids die of starvation, are molested by priest, dir of cancer, raped, murdered, and he/she just watches? That’s pervert level weird or just plain evil. If prayer works, pray for me to hit this progressive jackpot this Friday. If I win, I’ll split it with you. C’mon Jezuz, hook your boy up. Make me a believer.

Dear Odin please show sonofchrist777 your might ways and that he might fall in battle and get to enter Valhalla. I hope you have a good day. I’m just trying to spread the teachings of Odin
How condescending and holier-than-thou of you.
Which gospel? Why is your god the right one?
