It is immaterial what you think about the Ten Commandments. We do not live in a theocracy governed by one religion. If you want your kid to be surrounded by biblical teachings, then enroll him/her in a religious school.

So not killing people and not lying and not stealing are religious teachings?

It's all good. Print them and put them up everywhere! I can't believe they weren't put up sooner. I look forward to when the commandments appear in all schools and public buildings in my state. We need to show everyone who we are: a Christian nation.

Except the 1st Amendment clearly states that we are not a Christian nation. If you want a Christian nation, go create one. Only problem is that you'll actually have to act like a Christian is so-said nation.

Well you can teach your children the Ten Commandments are shameful and that they are free to do everything the Ten Commandments says not to do, with pride. Problem solved.

Where do you get that anyone is saying the Ten Commandments are shameful?

No one is saying that.

Actually someone said that and claimed the 10 commandments were written by a bunch of drunk guys. The moderator deleted the post but not the quote.

Someone feels very strongly that their children not be shamed into not murdering or lying or stealing.

DP, the 10 Commandments were just written by some rando, whether he was drunk or not is open to speculation. Meanwhile there's zero evidence they were actually written by God. The whole Bible is mostly just a collection of old fables, parables and fairy tales, some of which date back to Mesopotamian times or were borrowed from various other cultures.

This.

You are voicing your opinion about the Bible. It is not everyone’s opinion nor should it be.You think the Bible is x, some people think it’s y. Your opinion is not fact or truth.

The Bible is neither fact nor truth. In fact it contains many false and disproven assertions, and that's not opinion.

+1 and which Bible’s version did they choose to use? There are hundreds of different texts/ translations.

You know darn well they are not talking about the secular laws (that also happen to be commandments) against murder, fraud, and theft. They are talking about worshipping a particular god, not having idols (some religions do and those are allowed to be practiced in the United States of America), and keeping holy a particular faith's sabbath, even though they may be of a faith with a different or no sabbath.

In any case, this is clearly unconstitutional and won't last.

That’s your opinion. I hope it lasts, because I work in a school and the students are being failed by their parents grievously. It’s truly sad.

How will slapping something on the wall in your classroom help your students, or their parents?

Are you an educator? Please, if you are not, get your teaching degree and certification and help teach kids. There’s a massive teacher shortage. It would be great for people like you to enter the classroom and help educate kids.

I did get a teaching degree and certification and taught until I had my youngest whose special needs made it impossible for me to work. But this isn’t about me. How will slapping something on the wall in your classroom help your students, or their parents?

Oh, you should definitely get back in the classroom. Your expertise is sorely needed.

The most likely outcome is it will end up being allowed by the current SCOTUS (probably overturning some settled case law on some novel understanding of history) and other religions will be allowed to have posters but won't actually be able to.

Louisiana will continue to be a poor, ignorant state with bottom 10% stats in every QoL metric.

What religion are you, pp? Does your religion teach you to call your fellow man poor and ignorant? Does your religion teach you to disparage poor people or uneducated people? Does your religion teach you to help poor and uneducated people?

Are you able to stay on topic? Can you build a coherent argument based in reality and fact? I'm beginning to believe conservative and religious beliefs really are just a symptom of the weak-minded.

DP... That TOTALLY didn't answer the question. Again, how exactly will slapping a poster of the Ten Commandments help students?

How does it hurt?

By making kids who believe in different religions or no religion feel like outsiders.

I would love to see the reactions from the MAGAs if a Hindu teacher put up the Yamas and Niyamas in her classroom. Or better, if a Muslim teacher posted some quotes from the Quran.

You aren’t showing any compassion for poor and uneducated people.

Leviticus says bats are birds. They are not, they are mammals
Isaiah and Revelations say the earth is flat and has corners. It does not, the earth is a spheroid.
1 Kings says Pi is 3. It is not
Job says humans were made from clay
Revelation says stars are small and fall to earth. Stars are massive.
Ecclesiastes says the Sun revolves around the earth. The earth revolves around the sun.
Matthew says the mustard seeds are the smallest seeds. This is untrue, for example orchid seeds are smaller.
Jonah supposedly survived inside a fish for three days. That's biologically impossible.
Joshua supposedly stopped the sun. That's impossible.
Genesis claims there is a solid firmament separating us from space. Untrue.
Samuel and Job claim the earth is supported by pillars. Untrue.
Genesis and Isaiah say the moon produces its own light. Untrue, the moon only reflects light.
Genesis says plants were created before the sun. Plants need sunlight to survive.

and so on and so on and so on.

Yes.

The red states stay poor and undereducated by design. I don’t see having religious beliefs in opposition to being educated and believing that science is real but these dreadful “Christians” do. I believe in God and consider myself a cultural member of the religion in which I grew up, but I believe in the separation of church and state. This is abominable.

Because neither of us live in LA, we both have completely different opinions, neither of us will change our opinion, and it’s stupid to fight with strangers online.

I have plenty of compassion for them. That doesn't mean entertaining their nonsense. I have compassion for my kid but I understand he's young, irrational, and lacking the mental capabilities of a properly educated adult. I don't let him make important decisions for us.

These religious morons need to spend more time learning history, reading comprehension, and reason, and less time destroying our country with their idiocy and selfishness.

The Louisiana state government has endorsed a particular set of commandments.

I mean we saw you guys flip out online about Juneteenth because that’s not for or about you and we’ve definitely seen how Republicans treat Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. This isn’t about decent behavior it’s about the GOP establishing a state religion. You probably struggle to understand that.

My sister and one of my best friends from college actually did teach elementary school in Louisiana. They were the only teachers in their respective schools who weren’t “paddling” their students. I can’t imagine how this would have actually helped them.

The most likely outcome is it will end up being allowed by the current SCOTUS (probably overturning some settled case law on some novel understanding of history) and other religions will be allowed to have posters but won't actually be able to.

Louisiana will continue to be a poor, ignorant state with bottom 10% stats in every QoL metric.

What religion are you, pp? Does your religion teach you to call your fellow man poor and ignorant? Does your religion teach you to disparage poor people or uneducated people? Does your religion teach you to help poor and uneducated people?

Are you able to stay on topic? Can you build a coherent argument based in reality and fact? I'm beginning to believe conservative and religious beliefs really are just a symptom of the weak-minded.

Yes.

The red states stay poor and undereducated by design. I don’t see having religious beliefs in opposition to being educated and believing that science is real but these dreadful “Christians” do. I believe in God and consider myself a cultural member of the religion in which I grew up, but I believe in the separation of church and state. This is abominable.

You missed the part where you should not judge other people. You are judging a bunch of people you don’t even know as dreadful. That’s close minded and wrong. You don’t know anyone is dreadful until you get to know them on a personal level.

So far: Louisiana is a poor, ignorant state.
Other Christians (the ones who don’t think like meeeeeee) are dreadful.

What a bunch of sweethearts posting here. Real role models for children.
