Louisiana will become the first state to require that public universities and K-12 schools display the Ten Commandments in every classroom after the Senate voted overwhelmingly to push forward new

Do they want Baphomet in their schools? Because this is how you get Baphomet in your schools.

      Cause they are Putin’s Pooh Stains. He (& by his shitting out/spoon feeding marching orders, they) want to dismantle democracy.

      His offense budget (~40k/year per social media troll (how many does he employ?)) does wonders against our defense budget (IDK how many hundreds of billions, but random memory says mid 7s).

      It’s technically not against the Constitution. The First Amendment prevents the government from creating or establishing a religion, and thereby prevents the power of the government from expanding beyond civil matters.

      SCOTUS further restricted religious public education by ruling against religion in public curriculum in Engel v. Vitale in 1962.

      Having religious text on display without induction into the curriculum is legal. Only now that they’ve mandated one religion, other religions have a platform for equal representation. Maybe it’s time for The Satanic Temple to open a Louisiana congregation?

        Lol no. And SCOTUS has said no several times. There is no, “oops I left my Bible out and accidentally converted some kids” carve out for government employees. Religion stays at the door.

          SCOTUS has ruled against it in curriculum, but separation of church and state is from one of Johnson’s speeches, and not technically in the Constitution. I wish it were. My point wasn’t implying defense of the display. I don’t want it in schools either. I’m simply saying if they want to play by the rules of Originalism, then all churches deserve equal representation according to the Constitution.

              Do you have a link to that case ruling? I’d like to be up to date. I’m familiar with Engel v. Vitale, but that is exclusive to curriculum teaching. It does not apply to religious works on display.
