yes. There is. I don't want my kids to be shamed into behavior based on a stupid book written a couple thousand years ago by a bunch of drunk guys.

Which specific commandments do you think people shouldn’t be “shamed” for? The Ten Commandments are a set of religious and ethical directives that God gave to Moses, according to the Bible. Scholars disagree about when the Ten Commandments were written and by whom, so apparently you know more than they do because you know “a bunch of drunk guys” wrote them. Do you have a cite for that? Please share.

DP. Thanks for posting the commandments. Maybe you could ask Jeff to pin them to the top of the website so we can always have them available to us when we visit the site.

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.

Good job Louisiana.

One of Trump’s religious advisors is a pedophile, having had a sexual relationship with a 12 year old girl a few decades ago when he was in his twenties and was living with her family.

No one turned him in to the police and he (and the allegedly liberal media which would make any such story about a Biden advisor into an above the fold story for weeks) speaks of it as a moral mistake for which he has been forgiven.

Actually following the (Old Testament) commandments is not actually imperative for the evangelicals, at least not the men.

And that’s not even the important part: this is erasure of the line between church and state and only a little taste of Project 2025’s plans.

I don’t see what saying god dammit has to do with morals.

There is nothing wrong with the Ten Commandments. All good morals.

Does the teacher have to answer when a first grader asks "what is adultery" (7th commandment)? Would that entail a sex education lesson? Uh oh.

There’s the strategy to remove it from the classrooms!! No porn for kids!!

When I asked the question about adultery (as a kid), I was told by the nuns not to wear skirts that are too short or clothes that show too much skin and I won't have a problem with #7. Nothing about what the commandment means except that.

Except they aren't, so the lying continues to justify an action.

If I were a Muslim or Hindu, I would probably have standing to sue. But even a Jew or Christian would, because no where in the "founding documents" of the country are the Ten Commandments.

Every public school classroom in Louisiana has been ordered to display a poster of the Ten Commandments - a move that civil liberties groups say they will challenge.
The Republican-backed measure is the first of its kind in the US, and governs all classrooms up to university level. Governor Jeff Landry signed it off on Wednesday.
The new law describes the commandments as "the foundational documents of our state and national government".
