Louisiana's Ten Commandments law in public schools blocked by federal appeals court​


“Parents and students challenge a statute requiring public schools to permanently display the Ten Commandments in every classroom in Louisiana. The district court found the statute facially unconstitutional and preliminarily enjoined its enforcement. We affirm,” the court said in its ruling.
The appellate court's decision upholds a lower court's ruling in November declaring Louisiana's law as "facially unconstitutional."
The courts ruled this attempt by reich-wing zealots to be UNCONSTITIONAL.

The AG for this state needs to be disbarred. A message needs to be sent to these ignorant zealots a message. YOUR RELIGION DOES NOT BELONG IN SCHOOLS. Attempting to force it in will be the end of your career.

The right wing WAS WRONG AS USUAL.

The message will never be honored, enforced, understood or recognized. The religious right will try again, a different way to get religion into public schools. It seems ignorant and stupid to keep trying. The question is:
Are they ignorant or stupid?
Does the Religious Right (RR) not understand the Constitution and the law?
Are they just flaunting the law by trying again and again after being told it unconstitutional?
Are they uninformed about how the law and the Constitution work?
Do they think their religion is a greater law than the Constitution?
Are they just being obstinate?
Is there something wrong with their thinking process?

Given that insanity is defined by doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different out come these are just questions, not a poll, I would like the RR to answer since I don't believe they are insane.
 
Prejudice against Christians.
Globalists.
Woke Judges.
Whatabout.................

They may not always win the award, but they never fail to at least get Dishonorable Mention.
 
I really don't get the need to put the TC in every classroom.
They reasoned them to be of historic importance but lets not kid ourselves.

Not in the 10 in question but read Matthew 22:36-40 in your church of choice and/or in your home and live by it.

BTW, I think the felon has repeatedly ignored ( I am being nice) several of the 10C and MAGA's are still cheering him on.
 
More wasted money on lawyers. More wasted time for our overburdened courts.

BTW, who was in charge of explaining the 6th Commandment to second graders?

Do you mean the Seventh Commandment?

Imagine teaching 5-year-olds that they’d better not **** somebody outside their marriage.

Evangelicals claim lefties sexualize children. Then they demand a command to not even think about getting a chubby over somebody’s spouse be plastered all over elementary schools and fight for teen weddings.

 
Evangelicals claim the 10 C are some kind of baseline of morality, when nothing could be further from the truth. They say nothing about child abuse, nothing about spousal abuse, nothing about slavery, nothing about rape, and the Evangelicals who call for them continuously bear false witness, and worship false idols.



Virtually any compilation of fundamental secular laws eclipses the morality of the Ten Commandments by many orders of magnitude.

Nope.

  1. I am the LORD your God; you shall not have strange gods before me.
  2. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
  3. Remember to keep holy the LORD’s Day.
  4. Honor your father and mother.
  5. You shall not kill.
  6. You shall not commit adultery.
  7. You shall not steal.
  8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
  9. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.
  10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.
 

No.

The 10 Commandments: Full List, Bible Verses and Meaning

God wrote the 10 Commandments in the Bible on stone tablets and gave them Moses to share with all the Israelites soon after they left captivity in Egypt (Exodus 20:1-26). Moses reiterated them 40 years later in Deuteronomy 5:1-22 as the Israelites neared the Promised Land.

Recent discoveries among the Dead Sea Scrolls show an early amendment to the Commandments, specifically the 10th, about what of our neighbors we can and cannot covet. From Deuteronomy 5:21.X

חוץ מכסחת הדשא הרכובת שלו

Apparently there an exception given for riding lawn mowers, although some scholars question the authenticity of that segment. There's a liberal branch of Reformed Judaism that insists on interpreting it to include snow blowers, ... but they are a small minority. In any event, neither can be used on the Sabbath. After all, the devil is in the details.

 
These commandments were handed out to this tribe of people at a time when other cultures living in the same part of the world were writing pretty sophisticated laws for their people. Moses' people must have been uncivilized almost to the point of depravity that he had to tell them to respect their fathers and mothers. What kind of people have to be told to do that .

What kind of people have to be told that they can no longer murder or steal or lie because their new God doesn't approve.

And why do Protestant evangelicals think little children need to be told those things. They already know they are wrong.
 
They serve as a reminder what is right and wrong but most ignore them, sadly.
Mine are by my bedside table.
 
This is exactly what children need. Commandments. More commandments. Commandments carved in stone.
That's what children need.

The sarcasm is pretty funny. But in reality the people who need the commandments are the same ones insisting that it is children who need them.

The usual group of right wingers who have argued to have the Ten Commandments posted in public classrooms are conspicuous by their absence in this thread. Frankly, this ruling by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals should shut them all up, except for a few that will inevitably show up to claim that this will eventually end up with the Supreme Court.

They ignore history, where it’s already been ruled upon by the Supreme Court that a state law dictating this type of action is unconstitutional. But that doesn’t take into consideration the idiocy and brazen arrogance of states like Louisiana to waste the court’s time with their pompous religious crusade.

This is a victory lap, so far, that I enjoy taking, after previously arguing against the people that can’t focus on the materially unconstitutional effect of what they want. I’m pointing at those people and laughing at them right now. They know who they are.
 
Just talk about the President.

There are several commandments broken there.
