Louisiana Requires All Public Classrooms to Display Ten Commandments

[T. A. Gardner]

You like to focus on the symbol and not the meaning behind it. There's nothing wrong with trying to teach tolerance to kids in an age-appropriate way.

So, then the ten commandments, which are largely the same thing, are something you find appropriate hum?

 

[AProudLefty]

There's everything political about plastering the whole classroom in LGBTPDQRSTUV+- whatever paraphernalia, flags, etc. and putting that agenda into lessons, particularly for children who are pre-pubescent.

You're overreacting which is ironic considering what you said.

I'm offering a counterpoint. What the Left finds acceptable in a classroom goes unquestioned in the MSM. What the religious Right finds acceptable is demonized.

LGBTQ isn't a religious movement.

What is being put forth by the Right is certainly being questioned.

 

[Ross Dolan]

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.

That is actually the way you feel? Truly?

In Louisiana they will be there by force of LAW.

And the best you can say of that is that you do not have to look at them?

 

[Ross Dolan]

No, both promote an agenda, one religious, the other political. We shouldn't have either in a classroom.

You mean like The Pledge of Allegiance?

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.

A law signed by Gov. Jeff Landry on Wednesday makes the state the only one with such a mandate. Critics have vowed to mount a constitutional challenge.

This is clear violation of first amendment.

The PEOPLE of that state must want it. This is called democracy. People vote for politicians that will put in place things they agree with . If you do not like it,...tough shit,...than dont live there. Pretty simple. Elections have consequences,......REMEMBER?

 

[domer76]

Good point. However it's a stepping stone.

Perhaps. It still is an obvious 1st amendment violation and will probably be disallowed. But, in the scheme of things, not a big deal.

 

[domer76]

The Quran doesn't have a clear set of ten commandments in it. There are verses that together, scattered through it, might parallel the ten commandments, but no one verse or two does that.

I see no harm however in quoting some religious text or another, be it Christian, Islamic, Buddhist, or whatever where the quote conveys what virtually anyone would consider good values, like You cannot commit murder. Foisting heavy doses of any religion on schools should be avoided. There are religious schools for those parents that want their children to grow up in that environment, and we should have that choice too.

Hey dumbfuck, it’s not the “don’t steal” part of the Commandments we’re talking about here.

Yep.

So?

Yep again. Don't look at them if you're offended. Pretty simple, eh?

 

[RB 60]

You mean like The Pledge of Allegiance?

Did you have to recite the Pledge when you were in school?
If so, I hope it didn't injure you for life. It didn't me...

You should think about what you just said in regards to the USA currently and who is the president.

If you do not like it,...tough shit,...than dont live there. Pretty simple. Elections have consequences,......REMEMBER?

 

[NakedHunterBiden]

Yep.

So?

Yep again. Don't look at them if you're offended. Pretty simple, eh?

So like pride flags ? Why can't you just not look at them?

“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.”

Absolutely it does.

No, it does not.

 

[NakedHunterBiden]

I'm surprised they didn't want trump's 10 commandments posted..

 

[Truth Detector]

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!

No, it doesn't you uneducated dotard.

 

[Truth Detector]

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

 

[Truth Detector]

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

No, it does not. There is no separation clause in the Constitution. You should read it sometime before you bloviate your predictable stupidity.

 

[Truth Detector]

Wow what a brilliant observation!
