A spokesperson of the Hindu community is seeking to have ancient Sanskrit scriptures displayed in public classrooms alongside the Ten Commandments.
On Wednesday, Gov. Jeff Landry signed a law that requires each public classroom, starting from kindergarten to state-funded universities, in Louisiana to display the Ten Commandments.
The President of the Universal Society of Hinduism Rajan Zed said in a statement that the Bhagavad Gita, or the Gita, was a historically significant document and he believes is a treasure that should be displayed in public school classrooms.
There are currently 4,000 religions in the world today (ball park figure)
Show them all.
Little Timmy’s art work he’s proud of?
Sorry. No room because we have to cater to religious assholes who make up the Republican party.
I like the “all or nothing” approach. It negates the “but my religion is extra special and the true one”.
All scriptures, equal space for each scripture, same font (not necessarily same size) same colors.
Also need to leave some space for new religions/scriptures. It’s only fair.
I love that idea and I think that’s the only fair way to do things.
The sucky part, which is sucky already, is that the law says that the schools themselves have to pay for the 10 Commandments posters. Really. And the law gets worse from there.
Well yeah. It takes money away from schools. That’s the end game.
Should’ve started with extreme militant Islam. The speed of the pearl clutching could become a new form of energy
I’m vaguely recalling a Jim Carry line from Bruce Almighty, “Smite them oh mighty smiter!”
“Now I’m not much for blaspheming, but that last one made me laugh.”
I would like this play doh sculpture of Baphomet I made displayed in all kindergarten classes, too. To refuse would violate my first amendment rights!
Right next to our true Lord: The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
R’amen!
Ok, I lost it at that one, that was inspired.
Does that count as Scripture or Advertising?
They should celebrate pastafarianism with a colander
It’s only fair.
As expected. Queue Satanic Temple. All part of their sooper jenius plan to get Christian-sharia validated by this illegitimate, corrupt SCOTUS.
Bonus: all legal fees helpfully footed by the losers and suckers - i mean taxpayers - of Louisiana!
That’s the point, to showcase Christo-fascism. Acting like the Satanic Temple is the problem while you sit back and do nothing is brain dead and only serves Christo-fascism.
Do the Noble 8 fold path next!!
