If I were a teacher in Louisiana this is exactly what I’d put up in my classroom to conform to the law. |

But in the meantime it’s just a bunch of whiny Republicans forcing their religion on everyone else against everything that the founders wanted for this country.

Yes especially as they are saying classrs have to have a PROTESTANT version of the 10 Commandments. Even though more Louisianans are Catholic. Hope at least some Catholics will rise up and complain about being run over by Protestants. Time for some sectarian warfare!! |

Sorry, fixed the quoting.
This is a red herring, but I'll answer anyways. There are hundreds of black students who attend those schools who see that their school is named after someone who literally fought a way to preserve the right to OWN people like these students as property with no human rights entitled to them. How would you like to go attend a school named after someone who did not want to give you any rights and fought for the right to own you as chattle? What does that say to these students? That we believe so much in the institution that would deprive you of all right to any liberty or even the protections of the Geneva convention. Do you think it makes them feel valued? Do you think it makes them feel like that have any chance of exceling or even being treated equally to the students that have a different skin color? Unless you live in a 100% white community, it is reprehensible to make minority students go to a school named after any Confederate. And if you can't see that as a problem, the you are part of the very divisive problem in our nation today. |

I think it's reprehensible to send white students to schools named after confederates as well. The confederacy was anti-American, treasonous and seditious, and caused the senseless deaths of over a half-million Americans for no good reason other than to protect "the peculiar institution of Slavery" upon which southern oligarchs depended for their wealth and power. |

The One PRIDE commandment is this:
Thou shalt not JUDGE! |

Conservative so-called "Christians" keep outing themselves as frauds. They want the 10 Commandments in schools but ignore Christ's teachings about feeding the poor and hungry. |

They are the same 10 Commandments. |

No, they’re not. There have been huge fights over the different biblical translations and interpretations throughout history. Google the iconoclastic controversy. Every one bible has four different versions of the commandments within it - they’re mentioned twice in Exodus and twice in Deuteronomy, all slightly different. And there are hundreds of different editions of the Bible. |

| TBH these days I think those corrupt wackjobs in the RNC could use a poster of the 10 Commandments far more than a group of elementary school kids. |

Are you referring to their habits of pedophilia and sexual assault of children, domestic abuse, corruption and general skulduggery? Yes, they would do well to study the rules they claim they live by. |

Exactly. Plus, I'm not all that worried about elementary school kids committing adultery and things like that. |
