Louisiana has become the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom under a bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry on Wednesday.
The GOP-drafted legislation mandates that a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in “large, easily readable font” be required in all public classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities. Although the bill did not receive final approval from Landry, the time for gubernatorial action — to sign or veto the bill — has lapsed.
Opponents question the law’s constitutionality, warning that lawsuits are likely to follow. Proponents say the purpose of the measure is not solely religious, but that it has historical significance. In the law’s language, the Ten Commandments are described as “foundational documents of our state and national government.
Can’t wait to see the
eightseven tenets of the Satanic Temple right up there next to them
Thank you! I’ll edit the original
Display them in Arabic.
This would never have survived scotus 5 years ago. Today I would not bet against them finding it constitutional
Lol, that’s exactly what I thought of too. Assuming https://legiscan.com/LA/text/HB71/2024 is correct I think my image fits the legal requirements.
It does specify specific text, but it doesn’t say I can’t add additional text.
Also it has to be easily readable.

That’s a tall order for a state that has a terrible education system.
Daaaamn, dog. Louisiana is going to need to invest a lot of money into reforestation after that sick burn.
Make it a comic then
I understood that
Love it 👍
That’s painful to look at, I can’t agree that it’s easily readable

What a shithole state.
Incoming Satanic Temple poster right beside it!
I’m so sick and tired Of these Christophascist Trying to force their pedophile religion on me and my kids.
There should be penalties for anyone who passes an obviously unconstitutional law.
How is this not a first amendment constitutional violation? It very clearly establishes a state religion by enforcing Christian doctrine into state law. Fuck every religion, but in particular, fuck abrahamic religion and all of its followers.
It is, the point is to make it to the Supreme Court so they can set a precedent that its allowed.
They’re supposed to be the court defending the constitution, but yet here we are. I wish you weren’t right.
As a Canadian, I have the same question. Is this just the old "slam through an obviously unconstitutional law because it will take years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to get it undone and until then maybe we can keep pushing our clearly anti-American agenda? (note I’m using American to mean what they claim it to mean, like in the movies, not what it actually is, which is kinda… this.)
Cool, cool, cool … They going to ban pork products and all shellfish too? Or are we cherry picking here… Seems like it be right blasphemous to be cherry picking…
Honestly I can make a whole list.
Louisiana band shellfish??? Not in a million years
Then they’re all blasphemous and shall all be executed by having stones thrown at them until death.
I agree, they all must get stoned.
They going to ban pork products and all shellfish too? Or are we cherry picking here…

Only thing historically significant about the 10 commandments is that the founding fathers didn’t want them in classrooms
We need to enact a law that requires states to either adhere to the Seperation of Church and State or have every single church in their state have their religious tax exemption status revoked. Churches that get it revoked is mandatorily required a tax payback to the IRS of up to 5 years or more. If a church is unable to payback owed taxes once revoked will have their churches taken and land converted to into free public usage.
Did you know if every church in America took in two homeless people, there wouldn’t be any homeless people left in America?
Lol Jesus would hate that, remember when he went to the Pharisees and went like
You guys fucking slay, LOVE IT
Me: Please let me know how many homeless people each church would need to host to help all the homeless people
ChatGPT: Each church in the United States would need to host approximately 1.87 homeless people to accommodate all the homeless individuals in the country.
That is truly absurd!
It really is absurd. I want someone to create a trend of how many homeless does your church house? Kind of like a competition… in reality some large churches could support 100 and other very small rural ones might struggle to support one.
This country is so completely fucked.
Well it’s about time that children learn not to boil a baby goat in the milk of its mother and to not, under any circumstances, put yeast in a blood sacrifice.
What? They aren’t talking about the only ten commandments in the Bible actually called the ten commandments?

Hmm… doesn’t specifically basing any laws on a universally recognized organized religion by definition a violation of Church and State? Doesn’t explicitly stating a religious totem qualify as favoring one religion over others? Doesn’t this also violate the Lemon Test since it in no way can be seen as secular in nature to put religious text in any form inside a classroom that is funded by the state? Seems they wrote themselves the reason to strike down the law into the law itself.
Yeeeeeupp
Christo-fascist theocratic shithole of a country.
Fuck religion. Specially Catholics and Christians are full of pedos and assholes.
Agreed 100%. But we must not forget that Muslims worship a pedophile as their profit. And devout jews still have rabbis suck the blood off the freshly circumcised baby as tradition dictates.
All of these abrahamic religions are absolute trash. And we can’t forget the recent offshoots Mormonism and scientology.
Remember folks, all of these assholes get massive amounts of undeserved tax breaks for no reason, and you dont.
EDIT: I didn’t mean to imply scientology is an offshoot of the abrahamic religions. It’s just a recent offshoots religion, that gets tax breaks like the rest. Poorly worded.
Any one left not believing in science first that would like to believe in gods, have I got a religion for you!.. I haven’t figured out all the details yet but we are efficient. We’ll be using the last copy of pacbell’s phone book. Incredibly most people who perished that year actually had their names mysteriously listed in that oh so great book. And finally, but most importantly, we can set up automatic withdrawal for your monthly, tax deductable, donation. If you want to bring up saint and shit, we’re pretty much open to that. St. Steve for example helps us with programming bugs. Slowly he’s getting used to python miracles. St. Bob will get you neighbors with tools to borrow from. St. Jessica will make you popular in school. And Saint Alina of the mysterious vajayjay will indeed find you that man of your dreams. So long as your account is engaged, you got nothing to fear. We got no hell or Devil in our religion. Just normal shit like that stupid stop light that takes forever to change or the homeless guy who might use your money to buy drugs so you can’t decide if you should give him money or not.
Wait. Is scientology related to the abrahamic religions?
No. I’m just saying we shouldn’t forget about them, due to the fact they get tax breaks just like the others.
I’d even argue mormonism is barely based on the abrahamics. Yeah they believe in Jesus stuff, but the whole Joseph Smith thing is just, too silly.
Mormonism is like acid-trip-based fanfiction for displaced Europeans to feel included in shit that may or may not have happened in the middle east.
And devout jews still have rabbis suck the blood off the freshly circumcised baby as tradition dictates.
Jewish babies get an immediate bj to make up for being circumcised?
What
