    I guess this goes to the 5th Circuit? Any chance the enactment is enjoined while it's challenged?

    Louisiana Becomes First State To Require Ten Commandments In Public School Classrooms

    A new law approved in Louisiana on Wednesday will require public schools to display the Ten Commandments in all classrooms beginning in 2025, according to the Associated Press, a move likely to draw immediate legal challenges.

    ***

    Under the bill (HB71), all public schools in Louisiana must display the Ten Commandments beginning Jan. 1 in each classroom on a poster or framed document, which must be at least 11 by 14 inches, with the text of the Commandments displayed in a “large, easily readable font.”

    Then either take it down or others will want their stuff on the wall too ( star of david, pentagrams, etc etc). Silly bullshit red meat. Keep it in a church where it belongs. Or maybe in some places public schools and churches are one and the same. :rolleyes: flame away wannabe taliban....

    All fine and dandy as long as it is YOUR religious material being posted on the walls in a public school. Right?

    The 5th Circuit opinion is literally just going to be "It is fine and dandy, yes"

    My conservative side supports this.

    My conservative side claims to respect the Constitution, but it totally ignores the Establishment Clause when it finds that inconvenient.

    I fully support this. Right next to the 10 commandments, can we mandate copies of the The Book of Satan, The Book of Lucifer, The Book of Belial, and The Book of Leviathan to be posted next to it?

    Im sure the flat earthers want a poster of the the earth rather than a globe as well...

    Better not be teaching kids about sexuality while we have a sign on the wall that tells them not to bang a sidepiece.

    Proof that the Jews are running everything.

    Hell, even on Easter they broadcast The Ten Commandments.
