Oh, they consulted lawyers, it must be constitutional then.Because I have no doubt that they consulted lawyers before doing it.
Why I don't/didn't elaborate, is this topic doesn't have my OCD firing like it does for others. I really don't care, as in, really. Matters not which religion, I am against any distractions from core curriculum in schools but that also includes cellphones and many others, but I am not in, nor do I know anyone in a Louisiana public school. They might as well require it on the moon, and same result, don't care.
Hmm, does this apply to criminal law as well? Cool!Oh, they consulted lawyers, it must be constitutional then.
While the posts in this thread by that member are certainly out of left field I’d pump the brakes on slinging that political type of mud.Look at his username and put him/it on ignore. Just another magat troll

While I see a point to being intolerant of intolerance, it’s easy to become what we fear. One can easily come to believe that those calling for breakers are trying to make those addressed feel like victims.While the posts in this thread by that member are certainly out of left field I’d pump the brakes on slinging that political type of mud.

Let me ask what makes this constitutional when, in 1980, Kentucky did the same thing and was found to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court?Because I have no doubt that they consulted lawyers before doing it.

“In Stone v. Graham, 449 U.S. 39 (1980), the Supreme Court ruled that a 1978 Kentucky law that required the posting of the Ten Commandments on the wall of every public school classroom in the state violated the establishment clause of the First Amendment because the purpose of the display was essentially religious.
“The Kentucky courts upheld the law, but the Supreme Court reversed. In determining whether the law had the effect of establishing religion, the Court concluded that the required display of the Ten Commandments in schoolrooms served a religious purpose.
“‘The Ten Commandments are undeniably a sacred text in the Jewish and Christian faiths, and no legislative recitation of a supposed secular purpose can blind us to that fact,’ the Court wrote.”

Yep, which is why R led states are lining up to toss out decisions they don’t wantBecause the current SCOTUS wipes their ass with precedent.
It's the same result when the Shelby case was won in SCOTUS weakening Voting Rights. A bunch of red states quickly moved to make changes to voting rules they know disenfranchised certain people.Yep, which is why R led states are lining up to toss out decisions they don’t want

You should probably ask my neighbor's dog, because that would be about as effective at addressing what Louisiana does as asking me in this topic, and we both care about the same amount.Let me ask what makes this constitutional when, in 1980, Kentucky did the same thing and was found to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court?

If you live in Louisiana, contact your state reps. Otherwise, this, like most AT political topics, is a waste of time. It is really strange how people get so caught up in the internet that they think whatever they state anywhere, matters.

The user name says all you need to know.It's always funny when people come into very specific forums and say these kinds of things, as if it doesn't apply to them as well. What kind of moron goes to some random forum dedicated to a topic they don't care about, and then tells everyone in that forum they're wasting their time?
LinkBATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — 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.
The Gita is recognized as a poem in India and used as spiritual guidance, according to Britannica.
Zed states the Hindu community would cover the cost of the “11×14” posters and no funding from the state or school would be required.
The Hindu statesman noted that multiple prominent Americans were influenced by the Gita including philosopher Henry David Thoreau, physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, philosopher Aldous Huxley and physicist Albert Einstein.
Zed believes that increasing the awareness of other religions would make classrooms in Louisiana “well-nurtured, well-balanced, and enlightened citizens of tomorrow.”

Idiotic commentary. He’s already completely misrepresenting what Christians believe in the first 90 seconds. At least start with the truth of our beliefs if you intend to tear them down. It was a profitable business entire b/4 he passed. RIP.Christopher Hitchens decimated The 10 Commandments in his "god is not Great" opus.
