Schools in Louisiana could soon be required by law to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.

    I hope The Satanic Temple comes in and forces a display of their tenets in every single classroom as well. The GOP is such a disgrace. It’s the first amendment FFS; and I know they’ve read it because they’re all crazy about the second one and won’t shut up about it.

      Last time this came up, the suggestion was for the “poster or framed document that is at least eleven inches by fourteen inches” where “[t]he text of the Ten Commandments shall be the central focus of the poster or framed document and shall be printed in a large, easily readable font” to be printed in Arabic.

      HB 71 also specifies the exact language that must be printed on the classroom displays.

      A clever teacher would have a class project on why such a display is unconstitutional and post students’ responses all around this display.

      There needs to be a fine or something for legislators who write unconstitutional laws. Give ‘em one freebie a year just in case they mess up. But for everything else, there needs to be a consequence to fighting against democracy.
