“The purpose is not solely religious,” Sen. Jay Morris, R-West Monroe, told the Senate. Rather, it is the Ten Commandments' "historical significance, which is simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”
Only two of them are actually law: Thou shalt not murder and thou shalt not steal.
This is all about religion, and they're going to get away with it. We'd be better off if our legal codes were based on the seven tenets instead.
Religious people just love indoctrinating children. It's their whole thing. Get them while they're young and dumb and won't realize it's all just make believe bullshit.

Did I misunderstand what "separation of church and state" meant?
violating the constitution by establishment of a religion
Wtf is going on with you on the other side of the pond there?

Welp...I was gonna visit NOLA one more time before moving from Texas to Oregon this summer and leaving the Deep South once and for all. But, as a public school teacher, I have to say this is completely and utterly monkeyfucked, and Louisiana isn't getting a thin-ass dime from me.
Post them in Hebrew, to be historically accurate.
At least six of those go against the core tenets of MAGA
Name and shame the religious extremist who passed this and ban them from office
Ask them how they'd feel about requiring children to wear hijabs and all of the sudden they'll understand how everyone feels about their fascist laws lol
Thou shalt suck my dick
sherman we need you now more than ever.
i fucking hate the south
I thought the old testament was supposed to be irrelevant/null and void after Jeebus and the new new testament.
To be fair Louisiana can't do much more than alternate between crying and sticking its head in the sand. Unfortunately it is the state where a whole lot of oil refineries and disgusting chemical plants have set up shop and that has just locked the state into a death spiral politically. Louisiana is absolutely FUCKED though from climate change and I think you have to see the batshit crazy behavior of people there from that context. Climate Change is going to demolish the lives of people who live in Louisiana (actually by the numbers it is going to somehow be FAR worse than Florida) and no matter how much denial you are in about Climate Change the fear will keep seeping into these people's psyches no matter what, like rising flood waters slipping between the cracks of buildings....
It is useless to try to understand why the ideological contagions of religious fundamentalism and conservatism are so widespread in Louisiana outside the context of the state being a trashcan for the entire US oil and chemical industrial complex. This kind of suffering, ideological dissonance with basic aspects of reality and obsession with issues that are massive distractions from unfolding mass scale health catastrophes (like healthcare being an utterly failed system in the US or rent being completely unaffordable) are a fundamental requirement for petroleum and chemical companies to maintain their incredibly destructive existence, otherwise they would be shut down almost immediately by angry masses of citizens.

Let's see if the don't kill command deters school shootings.
On the one hand, you have the anti-science, anti-reason, bible-thumping retrograde assholes.
On the other, you can bet that these same bible-thumping assholes break many of the very same ten commandments on a regular basis.
Finally, they could have posted something from the Gospels, from the lips of Jesus himself such as "love thy neighbor" and "turn the other cheek", but noooo...
Inbred degenerates.
Does it say which ten commandments?
That's pretty smart The United States is a place for smart people
Oh no. That was Kentucky. Notably they don't have the ten commandments in their classrooms for some weird reason. I guess we're going to find out if that SCOTUS ruling still applies.
Goodbye secularism, goodbye constitution and whoever still likes what's been the original idea behind the foundation of the United States of America.
