Louisiana makes it law that 10 commandments be displayed in public classrooms

They love Revelations, but the Gospels are dumped in the trashheap followed by multiple viewings of Passion of the Christ.

 

Yeah, if you like blood, special effects, and simple plot lines... the New Testament is not going to be your bag.

 

You don't gotta both sides everything my dude.

 

Not to be outdone re: separation of church and state...

 

What the hell?

 

Religious leader wants to display Indian scriptures in Louisiana public classrooms



BATON 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.”

Wait until the Satanic temple gets their crack at it, here are their tenets which aren’t really that bad…


I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV
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.
V
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.
VI
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.
VII
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.

Here's a free worksheet that Oklahoma and Louisiana teachers can used to teach the 10 commandments in class.

 

I’m curious what Vivek Ramaswamy thinks about this.

I live inbetween BR and NO.

as all the end of year school festivities took place. There were always a lot of religious themes, prayers, and so on and so forth that I don’t think you would see in most states.

My wife and I don’t really care because we generally think there are good messages in this sort of stuff, but we are not really religious at all.

The saddest thing is that this distracts from the fact that the school systems are essentially in shambles.
