Often times news upsells what’s happening in their title or with vague language in the article. I’ve become instinctively skeptical of outrageous headlines.

I went and checked the text of the bill itself. Wow. It’s exactly what it says on the tin of the news article. Not even an attempt to vague it up in the bill’s language. There’s no wishy washy way to think it means anything but the biblical Ten Commandments, in straight forward language. The bill wants them posted in every classroom.

This obviously violates the Louisiana state constitution and the U.S. Constitution.

Were you unaware of the state of Louisiana or something? Idk why anyone would find this hard to believe unless they're a little new to American politics

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They want it challenged in the 5th District for appeals so they can run it up to the stacked SCOTUS.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

The 5th circuit is already notoriously conservative too.

Should be fun.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

This is gonna be fun.

And by fun I mean totally annoying. Until the TST get involved.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I want to see the TST's tenets up there next to the commandments. That ought to stimulate some interesting discussions.

For those not familiar,

One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

They are totally going to sue for the ability to post the tenets next to the ten commandments.

Hail Satan!

As someone who is not religious in any form besides childhood indoctrination, all I can say is jesus fucking christ. Our country needs a purge of religious extremists. Do your fucking thing. Let me do mine. Don't push your beliefs on me. Freedom of religion also means freedom FROM religion.

these people don’t realize that combining church and state is a two-way street – you want a conservative theocracy? but which denomination becomes the official state religion? Baptists and Methodists and Catholics can’t even get along with each other …

Louisiana: Has one of the largest shortages of teachers across the country

Also Louisiana: Let's potentially alienate teachers in our state

Conservatives just don't think, do they?

Kids today need daily reminders not to commit adultery.
