This is gonna be fun.
And by fun I mean totally annoying. Until the TST get involved.
Often times news upsells what’s happening in their title or with vague language in the article. I’ve become instinctively skeptical of outrageous headlines.
I went and checked the text of the bill itself. Wow. It’s exactly what it says on the tin of the news article. Not even an attempt to vague it up in the bill’s language. There’s no wishy washy way to think it means anything but the biblical Ten Commandments, in straight forward language. The bill wants them posted in every classroom.
This obviously violates the Louisiana state constitution and the U.S. Constitution.
Were you unaware of the state of Louisiana or something? Idk why anyone would find this hard to believe unless they’re a little new to American politics
As someone who is not religious in any form besides childhood indoctrination, all I can say is jesus fucking christ. Our country needs a purge of religious extremists. Do your fucking thing. Let me do mine. Don’t push your beliefs on me. Freedom of religion also means freedom FROM religion.
In Louisiana, we have a super majority republican congress, bought republican judges, and a republican governor for the first time in 8 years. We are in a phase of revenge passing whatever right wing bills they can get away with because we no longer have a Democrat governor to turn away the ridiculous crap.
Our legislature absolutely will write in Christianity as the “correct” religion, and our governor is in the process of rewriting our constitution for a few reasons, one of which could very well be naming Christianity.
It’s going to take more than a challenge from tst to fix this one… We are deteriorating faster than Texas because Republicans are passing bills out of spite.
One of the things that I don’t see shouted out enough is when someone says the conservatives in this country attack education to keep the voting public stupid so they’ll keep supporting shit that’s against their interests, it’s objectively true, but it misses that Christians want the exact same thing to prevent more people from critically thinking about their faith and realizing it’s bullshit lies. And I’m not just talking about church leadership, plenty of run of the mill average Americans want to destroy public education because it threatens their burning desire and belief that they will exist forever
Can’t wait to see the Satanic Temple get involved.
Hey who wants to give several million of the state budget to law firms?! Yeah!
Morans.
Kids today need daily reminders not to commit adultery.
And to not worship the wrong god.
Louisiana: Has one of the largest shortages of teachers across the country
Also Louisiana: Let’s potentially alienate teachers in our state
Conservatives just don’t think, do they?
Nah, this is part of the plan.
I hate the title calling it the first state to do it. Like theres gonna be more states.
Good. It’s about time our children knew not to boil calves in their mothers’ milk.

Oh, did they not mean the ten commandments the Bible itself calls the ten commandments?
Satan was the good guy.
They never want to post the Beatitudes.
Pfff, that is so 2000’s

Well, I mean… Besides the first two those are not the worst rules to live by. As an agnostic I’m obviously against pushing your religion onto others but I think I’ll reserve my outrage for something more important.
They are, in fact, the worst rules to live by. Ignoring the fact that there are multiple version of them and they’re not even the ones the Bible actually calls the ten commandments, here’s a brief rundown:
- You shall have no other gods before Me. - How is this a good rule to live by? Why does everyone have to worship Yaweh?
- You shall make no idols. - Why does this matter?
- You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. - Or this?
- Keep the Sabbath day holy. - Or this?
- Honor your father and your mother. - What if your mother beats you? What if your father rapes you?
- You shall not murder. - Okay, sure, based on your definition of murder I guess one good rule in there.
- You shall not commit adultery. - What if your partner is okay with it? Is it still wrong?
- You shall not steal. - Not even food to feed your starving children?
- You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. - Okay, sure, lying is usually a bad thing. Not always, but usually.
- You shall not covet. - Good luck with that one. Even Elon Musk wants things he can’t have.
So other than ‘don’t murder’ and ‘don’t lie,’ which both can arguably have circumstances in which they are necessary, they don’t seem like good rules to live by to me.
