BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana has become the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom, the latest move from a GOP-dominated Legislature pushing a conservative agenda under a new governor.

Isn't the whole appeal of the GOP a hands off government?

That would be the Libertarian party, but then as we all know we wouldn't have any highways - so that wouldn't work. 

 

Ds and Rs are basically the same; the differences are minor.

Let me get this straight lefties, no mention of the Ten Commandments I. School , but drag queens reading gay porn to children is ok? 
You’re replacing a religious belief you apparently despise with your religion any normal thinking person would despise. 
The left are the poster child for hypocrisy. 


1) “Congress shall make no establishment of any religion” or whatever the thing says 

 

2) find me one school with “drag queens reading gay porn to children” is part of the curriculum 

 

 

if you want a theocracy go move to Iran. We are a secular nation with no established state religion.

Haven’t seen you around since you described Biden’s foreign policy work as a master class. Master. Class. Talk about a hoax!

And yet Ukraine isn't overrun by the Russians, and Iran and Israel aren't at war.

There is no free speech in a public school

 

Edd.  The schools have been putting all kinds of non scholastic narratives in the learning plans for ever.  But the left flips out over throw shall not kill

  

 

Effing hypocrites.

Actually they are, by any commons sense judgement.

Do you see Israel bombing Tehran?  I don’t.  Like the stock market where it is? I do.  Better they’re not shooting at each other.

19,000 rockets fired at or into Israel since Oct 7.

Hundreds fired at commercial vessels in the Red Sea as the Houthis, inaccurately claiming they are targeting Israeli associated shipping.

They didn't come from the countries of Hamas, Hezbollah or Houthi.

I have no strong opinion either way but the Louisiana State legislature is not Congress.

You're right about that one.

 

Look, the Ten Commandments thing is silly. It is an own the libs move. Pointless at best, offensive to (most) Americans' values at worst. Kind of like those old (2000s) debates about schools teaching "creation science," which literally is not a thing.

It distracts from the better policy - one that I am in favor of - school choice. Yes, I would like to see standardized testing (indeed, standards in general for the private schools parents can choose from), but that is the real solution to the very real problem of public education today. I went to Catholic schools, sent my kids to Catholic schools. Religion was a subject, prayer was a daily thing, and the curriculum was strong enough that any motivated kid would be prepared for whatever higher education path he/she wanted to follow. So let's stick with that agenda, not the silly own the libs agenda.

This is the answer.  I considered Catholic school education for my children, but as I am not an überwealthy Harvey-from-Suits big city lawyer like some here, the financial side of it didn’t work.  So, public school, and where appropriate we tried to offer guidance on issues where we felt there was more agenda being taught than balanced education.  
 

One of the problems with public education is the monopoly held by public education. I am quite certain that given other options, many families would choose another path. 
 

I agree with you on the law.  It’s a darn shame you’re going to spend your time in the fiery pits of hell. On the plus side, probably lots of Baphomet statues!
