HB71 - Requires Louisiana Schools to display the 10 commandments passes with Bipartisan Support 82 - 19 (2 Viewers)

Definitely Establishment Clause violation. But they keep pushing the limits - multiple states are doing this. Hopefully the courts hold the line, the history on establishment is clear, notwithstanding a modern effort to (falsely) recast it.

Hard to see how this thread shouldn't be on MAP though.

As expected.

 
My students had an unexpected reaction to this. Now, granted, I live in a red area of Louisiana, but over half of them didn't care for the ruling. While they couldn't name the Decalogue (in any order), they didn't understand why displaying them in every classroom would be unconstitutional. It prompted a fairly decent discussion about the Establishment Clause, etc. I am an ELA teacher of 12th graders and so I was more than a little surprised at their reaction.
 
So, could you post photos of a naked man and woman for Biology class and say “if you don’t like it, don’t look at it”?
 
There are 613 commandments in the Old Testament. What's the fascination with these 10?

So dont know any of the 10 Commandments, dont know anything about the Establishment clause, but do know they dont like the ruling by the court?

welcome to 2024 and the information reduction era.

They dont care for the ruling because they only know what they read/hear from their preferred method of info gathering. Which, id have to suspect, is either Instagram or TikTok. ( or family )
