the Ten Commandments are described as “foundational documents of our state and national government.
Jefferson must be rolling in his grave so fast that he could power the whole east coast. Bunch of uneducated goons.
Thomas Jefferson would never roll over in his grave. He would have his slaves roll him.
I’d love for them to point to where it suggests that in either the federal or state constitutions.
Display them in Arabic.
This would never have survived scotus 5 years ago. Today I would not bet against them finding it constitutional
Lol, that's exactly what I thought of too. Assuming https://legiscan.com/LA/text/HB71/2024 is correct I think my image fits the legal requirements.
It does specify specific text, but it doesn't say I can't add additional text.
Also it has to be easily readable.
Also it has to be easily readable.
That's a tall order for a state that has a terrible education system.
What a shithole state.
Incoming Satanic Temple poster right beside it!
I'm so sick and tired Of these Christophascist Trying to force their pedophile religion on me and my kids.
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.
Text is laid out in the law:

The Ten Commandments
I AM the LORD thy God.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven images.
Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his cattle, nor anything that is thy neighbor's
And then there's a context statement trying to pretend this is a foundational legal document of the United States.
Cool, cool, cool ... They going to ban pork products and all shellfish too? Or are we cherry picking here... Seems like it be right blasphemous to be cherry picking...
Honestly I can make a whole list.
There should be penalties for anyone who passes an obviously unconstitutional law.
Immediate loss of all Federal funding. Welfare states like Louisiana will feel the pinch quickly.
I mean personal penalties. There are individual people responsible for this. Punish them, not the state.
Only thing historically significant about the 10 commandments is that the founding fathers didn't want them in classrooms
How is this not a first amendment constitutional violation? It very clearly establishes a state religion by enforcing Christian doctrine into state law. Fuck every religion, but in particular, fuck abrahamic religion and all of its followers.
It is, the point is to make it to the Supreme Court so they can set a precedent that its allowed.
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.
Did you know if every church in America took in two homeless people, there wouldn't be any homeless people left in America?
Lol Jesus would hate that, remember when he went to the Pharisees and went like
You guys fucking slay, LOVE IT
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.
This state government is the worst one I've ever seen. Filled with morons. They believe in fairy tales and magic. There is no voice of reason in that state house.
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!
Get ready for the Baphomet statue.....
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
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.
Now add the commandments for every other religion to make it fair
I deserve to have my seven tenets displayed.
Christo-fascist theocratic shithole of a country.
Fuck religion. Specially Catholics and Christians are full of pedos and assholes.
Oh, .... good ... since one of the commandments say you should not kill .... then we can get rid of everyone's guns then.
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.”
I'll believe in their god as soon as they start electing officials that follow those commandments.
I mean, it's gonna get challenged and if a lower court doesn't kill it before it reaches them, which I suspect will be the case, SCOTUS will.
SCOTUS already has case law saying that you cant do this.
That hasn't stopped this Supreme Court.
