Kids don't care and won't read the poster unless it's massive or the teacher forces reciting.

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. [/quote]

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? [/quote]

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. [/quote]
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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

Don't pretend you have any moral high ground here whatsoever.

Whatever "religion" it is that you and your Louisiana Republicans are certainly teaches them to disparage the poor, to disparage anyone who disagrees with them, to disrespect their religion if they are not Christian, to disrespect them if they are atheist, to disparage them if they come from another land, it teaches them to be greedy, selfish, and short-sighted. It teaches them to NOT follow Christ's teachings about feeding the poor, tending to the sick, the elderly and the infirm, offering refuge and shelter to those who need it.

If you don't understand that or recognize that about today's GOP, then you'd better take some time to step back and do some deep soul searching because you are completely blind.  [/quote]

Christianity doesn’t teach people to disparage the poor or uneducated. It doesn’t teach Christians to be greedy or to hate people who are different than they are. Christianity doesn’t teach people to be short sighted or disrespectful. That’s ridiculous. You are making up so many things that are really rude and terrible about Christianity, it’s hard to take you seriously.[/quote]

You'd better go and notify every self-professed conservative Christian that Christianity doesn't teach those things, because they are DEFINITELY guilty of those things.  They overwhelmingly vote for people who slash funding and support for the sick and the poor and the elderly.  They overwhelmingly vote for people who want to cast out refugees.  Many of them follow the "prosperity gospel" of greed as can be seen with the rise of megachurches like Kenneth Copeland, Pat Robertson, Franklin Graham, John Hagee, Rick Warren and Joel Osteen.    You can call it "rude" all you like but I am STATING ABSOLUTE FACTS.   You're in delusional denial if you don't think any of this is real or happening - and you're kidding yourself if you don't that a large number of Americans like myself don't know this to be the case.   [/quote]

You are not stating absolute facts. You are stating your opinion, which you are entitled to both believe and state. That does not make your opinion fact. If you think your opinion about religion is fact, then that’s a you problem. [/quote]

The PP you are replying to is, in fact, stating facts. You might be in denial about those facts, but what she posted is the truth. Perhaps you should do some research into what she wrote to validate or disprove it.[/quote]

No. I know the anti-theists are out in force posting their opinions and agreeing with other anti-theist posters posts, but just because you all have the same opinion, doesn’t make other people’s opinions invalid. I don’t need to prove anyone’s opinion wrong, nor do I want to. People are allowed to have their own opinions. I don’t think I have to force everyone to agree with me. You should understand that and adopt that attitude. It’s really important to accept that other people will think differently than you and have different opinions than you do. [/quote]

You have the right to read and pray to the Bible.
You don't have the right to post parts of the Bible in a public school.

This shouldn't be hard.

Would you be ok with excerpts of the Qoran or Buddhist writings on the walls?[/quote]

People don’t pray to the Bible. They pray to God.

I don’t control l any state’s law. I don’t control state law regarding religion or educational issues. If my district/state said to put x, y, and z  posters up, I would do so. LA passed a law about displaying the 10 Commandments. It’s not up to individual teachers to make decisions like that, or to pick and choose which laws they follow. I don’t think you understand how tightly regulated everything regarding education is, in most states. [/quote]

Lordy you would have made a great German on the 1930’s!![/quote]

You are so right. I am going to sell my house and move to Louisiana. Then I can fight this law with everything I possess. I can’t sit by a morph into a literal Nazï by living in another state and personally allowing Louisiana’s state legislature to pass their own laws! Thank you pp, I won’t let you guys down. [/quote]

Some of you are so unbelievably stupid and unhinged. There's no consistent logic to your thinking. You're like sheep just mindlessly moving from one thing to another, wherever you're led, loudly bleating nonsense, scared of your friggin shadow. [/quote]

There’s that famous anti-theist love/tolerance. My opinion is that posters who call other posters names and insult their intelligence probably aren’t good people, no matter what their religion is or isn’t. People who act like that are just unpleasant and not able to talk about issues rationally. The first person who loses their temper or calls names in a discussion, loses. [/quote]
