Gov. Jeff Landry signed legislation on Wednesday requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in every public classroom in Louisiana, making the state the only one with such a mandate and reigniting the debate over how porous the boundary between church and state should be.

This is clear violation of first amendment.

“I can’t wait to be sued,” Mr. Landry said on Saturday at a Republican fund-raiser in Nashville, according to The Tennessean. And on Wednesday, as he signed the measure, he argued that the Ten Commandments contained valuable lessons for students.

“If you want to respect the rule of law,” he said, “you’ve got to start from the original law giver, which was Moses.”

“It’s our foundational law. Our sense of right and wrong is based off of the Ten Commandments,” he told The Washington Post, adding that Moses is a historical figure and not just a religious one.

“The Ten Commandments is as much about civilization and right and wrong,” Bayham said. “It does not say you have to be this particular faith or that particular faith.”

States will find that the law of the land is whatever the Regime in Washington says it is today....the sovereignty of the states is well on the way to being over.

The first commandment says, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind"

What the fuck!

Seems like violation of 1st Amendment.

Kinda self explanatory, Frank. Whatever/whoever your Lord God might be. If you have none, so be it. No one is forcing you to read/look at them.

But the text comes from the Bible. It can only have one meaning.

No it is specific as to which God that is. See 1 - 3 commandments.

The 1st amendment doesn't apply to States.
The Ten Commandments is not a religion either.

So?

The Ten Commandments is not theocracy.

 

[AProudLefty]

So?

So it violates the First Amendment. You claim to support the Constitution.

The Ten Commandments is not theocracy.

Wow what a brilliant observation!

No, I'm making fun of the hair on fire, screaming and running in circles, the Left is doing over this.
