Separation of church and state? New Louisiana law mandates 10 Commandments in public classrooms

[@ChiTownAndrew]

Im curious those defending this how they would feel if Muslim or Hindu edicts were mandated in their local classrooms. My point is who decides which religion is the right religion to display in our taxpayer funded schools?

[@demarcushoward4294]

Most Americans identify as Christian. Not Hindu or Muslim. This Nation was started off Bible principles of the Good Samaritan. Look what’s on the dollar bill and it’s not Hindu, Muslim or any other religion.

Yes and putting up the ten commandments in a school is not Congress passing a law to establish a religion. Compelling people that speech to acknowledge gender-based is a violation of our constitutional right to free speech and practice religion.

[@xjarheadjohnson]

That's right. It is why the Founding Fathers deemed *ALL* religions unfit for modern, civil law & governance. The *1st Amendment's Establishment Clause* prohibits the government from making any law, _“respecting an establishment of religion.”_ This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion. *Constitution Article VI Supreme Law - Clause 3 Oaths of Office* _"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; _*_but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."_* This means nobody is ever required to swear to a god or on the Bible, or any other religious book for an oath of office. They may choose a god or religious book, but none is required. Thomas Jefferson and Calvin Coolidge did not use a Bible in their oath-taking ceremonies. Theodore Roosevelt did not use the Bible when taking the oath in 1901, nor did John Quincy Adams, who swore on a book of law, with the intention that he was swearing on the constitution. _"In this enlightened age and in this land of equal liberty, _*_it is our boast,_*_ that a man's religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest offices that are known in the United States."_ *-George Washington* (To the Members of the New Jerusalem Church of Baltimore, 27 January 1793) _“The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or Mohammedan Nation.”_ *- John Adams* (American statesman, attorney, diplomat, writer, Founding Father & 2nd president) _“...the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."_ *-Treaty of Tripoli - June 7, 1797.

A 2018 Supreme Court Ruling re-affirmed this statement, from The Treaty of Tripoli. The Supreme Court released an opinion on May 14, 2018 in Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Assn., 584 U. S. (2018), Justice Thomas in his concurring opinion wrote: _"The Treaty of Tripoli was passed by the Senate and signed into law by President John Adams. As such, it is a "legislated text" which must be read "textually".

The language itself makes a clear direct statement that _*_our government is not based on the Christian religion and any attempt by a government official to represent our government as Christian contradicts the text and the historical understanding of our founders."_* _"Who does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other Religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other Sects?"_ *- James Madison 4th president* (A Memorial And Remonstrance, On The Religious Rights Of Man: Written In 1784-85)

I actually have no problem with displaying the Ten Commandments, as long as you also display Hammurabi's Code and the Twelve Tables of Roman Law. I also don't have a problem with a Christian Bible in every classroom, as long as you also have the Torah, Vedic scriptures, the Book of Mormon, works of Confucius, and Norse Sagas. What Christian Nationalists often like to do is place a Bible in a pubic school library, post the Ten Commandments on the wall, and then cry oppression when removed because there are no other works of theology/mythology provided. You can have religious texts in a pubic school, you can't just endorse any one over another.

​@@ToekneepowersI think the bigger problem is that atheist humanist most holy book is the Talmud. It's why you can't find one Democrat politician that holds office that doesn't support selective abortion all the way up to birth , which of course is legal in Israel under the Talmud. The talmud also requires its followers to force non-jewish to live under atheism. Because the time that teaches Jewish people are human beings but non-jewish are not human beings but animals on Earth in human form with no other purpose but to serve Jewish people. And because of that they have to force us into Atheism. Hence karl marx who is financed by his international banker cousins to force the Christian Russian people to live under the atheistic state which led to the death of approximately 100 million Christian Russians. If Israel was a Christian country entire radical left would be against Israel. They would be calling them white supremacist committing genocide against indigenous black and brown people. The radical left has a special hatred against Christianity but you will never ever see them say things negative about the Talmud. Once again that's their most holy book.

​​​​@@savageusa8939 if it doesn't lie, the numbers don't also lie that red run states are the poorest with the worst K-12 education rates... As well as the worst healthcare rates in the country. Since numbers don't lie. Louisiana as a state specifically is the second poorest state in the nation, as well as the second worst as it pertains to K to 12 education. It also has high maternal 💀 rates, and high rates of child SA in the country. Add Louisiana is a red state in totality. So it looks like Republican governors aren't doing such a good job for their people, either.

Stpp forcing your Jewish talmud law on abortion. The constitution and the that's left of abortion is murder. This isn't Israel. Also stop forcing your gender faith on other people including compelling people and speech to acknowledge it which is a violation of our constitutional right to free speech and practice religion. If you don't like Christianity you should have the courage of your conversations and leave Christian civilization AKA Western Civilization. Go live in Israel or maybe in the middle east under shari'a law. I onow go live under a Godless atheistic humanist Utopia like North Korea. America at the time of the founding fathers was 97 percent Christian. And our lawa, culture customs and traditions come from our Christian moral philosophy.
