Louisiana 10 Commandments Public School

Breaking News: Louisiana Adopts Sharia Law
JK, but for real though, I don’t see any grounds that this law can stand. Louisiana knows better than to mandate religious works like The Ten Commandments be prominently displayed in all public school classrooms. Parents what do you think? 🧐

Parents- What’s your opinion on this?

[@StreamWheel137]

My opinion is I love it, and wish every state did this. So I say politely ma'am, you are very wrong. But theres the beauty of the internet, a place where we can both share our own opinions. God bless you, have a great day. Edit: I would also like to say this, if the Ten Commandments are such a bad thing to have in a classroom, then why are LGBTQ flags and extremely sexual childrens books displayed in schools too. If anything there shouldnt be any political, moral, ethical, racial, religious, and sex/gender flags, doctrines or slogans in a school and classroom. You are missing the bigger picture here. Plus a state government and its voters have the right to vote on what they want; the federal government should not get to decide (as orginally intended by America's founding fathers).

[@mrsir6112]

@@StreamWheel137well I deeply disagree first off Americas founding fathers made it illegal to prefer one religion over any other and 2 protected minority rights just because a majority prefers doesn’t make right. For example we can’t just kick Kansas out of the union because the other 49 states agree it’s better. And finally 3 gender sex, and sexuality is biology, Biology is science, and science should be taught in school. And there is a big difference between educating people on biology and acknowledging that lgbt people exist and over sexualizing children. I’d much rather my children be taught more about biology and sex as they age than banning any kind of sex education which will inevitably end up in them “figuring it out”on their own

[@adamhose9632]

There's a big difference between discussing the ten commandments in a theology or history class versus mandating it to be displayed. I imagine there would be a lot of upset people if the 5 pillars of Islam was mandated. This simply goes against the constitution and is a slippery slope towards living in a Theocracy.

[@MichaelLopez-dn6gg]

If you try to "Book Ban" it I imagine that none of the people that were up in arms over stopping book bans a few years ago will make a sound. in fact i would imaging that many people in the comments here were against "book bans" and are opposed to displaying exerts from this book. And they don't see the connection.

[@remowilliams7569]

The difference is one is a real religion and the other is a false ideology.

[@adamhose9632]

@MichaelLopez-dn6gg I never researched all the various books that were banned. Some I would agree with banning, others I may not. When it comes to the three Abrahamic books, Old Testament, New Testament, and the Quran, despite some of the graphic writings, I wouldn't be against banning them in schools, even Elementary school. However, I am against mandating that certain aspects of the bible be mandated for display. Again, there's a big difference between allowing access towards these religious books and even teaching how they play a part in both history and current affairs, versus mandating that they be displayed as if to imply that these commandments supercede both the constitution and or other religious beliefs.

[@DumbDeeDumb5265]

I think it shouldn't be looked at as religion being in the school and more what's being displayed and what message it conveys, most of the 10 commandments you could view as entirely removed from a religious mentality and still benefit a great deal from them as a person which is what I hope the school is going for.

[@adamhose9632]

@remowilliams7569 that may be your belief, but it's not the belief of the 2 billion Muslims in the world. And keep in mind that the Simularities of the Quran and the Old and New Testament is probably close to 90%. Pretty much all the same prophets are in the Quran including Moses along with mentioning the 10 commandments. The only difference is slight differences in idealogy, Jew's give Bible precedence, Christians give Jesus precedence, and Muslims give God precedence over the writings and Jesus. However all are inherently entwined. Regardless of all that, this mandate is still a fundamental clash with the idealogy behind the constitution.

Even if it’s a valid statistic, it’s not your job to raise someone else’s child. I don’t like to generalize large groups, I don’t dislike christians as a whole and most are very good, but then there are christians that want to be up in everybody’s business-granted, there are those types of people in any religion.

[@chrisikaris5891]

Nothing wrong, per se. But they can be taught without violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the Constitution. More to the point, if Christians can mandate the teaching of their principles in public schools then Muslims can demand that their principles be represented as well. For example, I suspect you would not be comfortable if your child or grandchild was taught the principles of Islam, which include the doctrine of jihad, which is the act of promoting Islam, usually through war, against unbelievers (infidels), referred to as "those who resist Islam."

[@tonimartin4828]

[@chrisikaris5891]

@tonimartin4828 FYI, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the USA, mainly due to Muslim immigration to the USA and high birth rates among Muslim immigrants. Like it or not, the USA is, even from early times, a religiously diverse country with hundreds, perhaps thousands, of different faiths, and growing more diverse every year. The point of the Establishment clause of the First Amendment is that it forbids the government from favoring one religion over another. If any religious group is given the right to post religious messages or texts in school classrooms then any other, or many other, religious groups or denominations can do likewise. So if you want a particular religious text you like in classrooms, then you should not be surprised to see other texts from other religions introduced, including ones you might not like. P. S. "Under God", as well as "In God We Trust", do not refer to the god of Christianity or any other particular religion. When "God" was inserted in to the Pledge of Allegiance and on money in 1956, it was merely done to contrast the USA with the officially atheist Soviet Union.

I believe you will be a far happier person if you chose to view the things people say as "how will this thing improve myself as a human being" because if you looked at the 10 commandments that way you could see them something like Don't paint people in a dishonest or overly cruel light Don't use impactful words or phrases if you don't truly mean them Set aside a day of the week to remember everything you love and care about Remember and cherish the ones who cared for you as you grew up Don't murder people Don't have relations with someone who already has a significant other Don't steal Don't lie about people And be happy with what you have while striving to earn more without being jealous of what other people have
