In fact, I'd like to indoctrinate our youth with many more Commandments, like "thou shalt not exceed a BMI of 25" or "thou shall not use speaker phone in public" and "get a fecking job."

How about the Beatitudes? Those should be in the classroom as they come directly from Jesus. And also some prayers to the Virgin Mary. Students would definitely improve with some Hail Marys said a few times a day.

Let's get the basics first. 10 Commandments, pledge of allegiance, and running laps in PE.

No praying to Mary. That's Santeria. I'm tired of weird pagan crap like Earth Day etc.

Make sure you put that in the Amicus briefing when this goes to the SCOTUS! Lol.

It is weird Louisiana put the Protestant version of the 10 commandments into the law knowing that this will likely got up to then catholic-majority SCOTUS. That was short sighted.

I don't believe scotus would hear the case. This doesn't appear to violate the constitution. The 10 Commandments are a shared moral basis for Jews, Muslims and Christians regardless of the variations in the rendering. The constitution says:

"Article the third... Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Hanging the 10 Commandments

1) wasn't decided by the US Congress
2) did not establish a religion
3) does not prohibited the practice of a religion
4) does not inhibit speech

There's no case. It's a state issue, and it doesn't violate any constitutional protections. The only thing they will have to go on is precedent, but constitutional scholars believe that the precedents are based on a misreading of the relevant texts. The founding idea of our nation is that government corrupts religion-- not that religion corrupts government. It was always the government, not the religion, that was being constrained.

Jesus Christ, people - the 14th Amendment binds states so they’re equivalent to Congress when it comes to this stuff. And SCOTUS already struck down a very similar law in Kentucky, finding that this did establish a religion.

Since when is everyone either a Jew Christian or Muslim???

Other cultures and religions have their own ancient texts too.

And why should we ban “graven images” - no one will answer that. That sounds like banning speech to me.

Great, the the second amendment also doesn’t apply to the states.

The more diversity of lifestyle and culture we have in states the better. People deserve the right to live in a place they are comfortable and shouldn’t be victims of nationwide control freaks.

Well then Catholics will have a case to make that this version of the 10 commandments corrupts their religion. The government should not be picking the version and translation of these texts that gets used in classrooms.

The MAGA cult would have to stop putting Trump’s face with Jesus face and claiming they are equal.

The GOP wants to put up “laws” in the classroom that demand banning this.

The US was formed on judeo Christian ethics. It's okay for us to promote our cultural heritage. Other nations do.

No one is banning graven images. They are just tearing down historical statues bc they want to remove a sense of historical culture and identity so they have a blank slate to work with.
