He knows the Law is unconstitutional, it was ruled so in 1980. He just doesn’t care. And feel free to substitute Republicans for He, though I was using it as the La Governor

Of course, didn’t mean to imply that LA thought they were doing something legal.
It’s similar to AL when SCOTUS ruled their electoral maps were unconstitutionally racially biased, and they said “lol interesting, don’t care, we explicitly want them racially biased”.
Hail Satan!
Seriously, I hope TST and the ACLU has a freaking field day with this one.
With this supreme court, why not give them a chance to overturn a precedent?
And, of course, if they do say it is unconstitutional, that becomes another reason to take your kids out of the godless public schools and send them to religious schools instead. LA has a voucher program, and this SC has said that vouchers can be used for religious schools.
So it’s a win either way.

LA Supreme Court:
The Constitution forbids the government from endorsing one religion over another. However, it is commonly accepted that America was founded as a Christian nation by Christian founding fathers, so the Commandments honor our American heritage and are a cultural icon, and are not representative of a religion.
Same with crosses and school prayer
Since it is a male, I think it would be “Le Gouverneur.”

Does that also mean La Chargers should be Les Chargers?

Here’s the law: https://www.legis.la.gov/legis/ViewDocument.aspx?d=1364576
It prescribes the actual text to be displayed…an edited variant of the KJV, I think…and it seems to avoid questions of how they should be numbered.

I mean, the whole argument is a stretch, but to conclude that passages lifted from the Bible are not representative of a religion is some amazing logic.

“While these passages are contained in some religious text, it is the Court’s view that in the context of schools, they are an important historical cornerstone of the ethical beliefs of the founding fathers, who created our Constitution in conformity with these moral guidelines. As such, they also have a secular context integral to the very fabric of America’s being.”

Madison would like a word.
“And in a Govt. of opinion, like ours, the only effectual guard must be found in the soundness and stability of the general opinion on the subject. Every new & successful example therefore of a perfect separation between ecclesiastical and civil matters, is of importance. And I have no doubt that every new example, will succeed, as every past one has done, in shewing that religion & Govt. will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.”

This is performative nonsense. This will get struck down as unconstitutional after wasting a bunch of money posting these signs then defending the constitutional challenges.

It’s great that Louisiana doesn’t have any other pressing issues and has more resources than they know what to do with otherwise.

Well they do rank 49th in education so maybe the 10 commandments will improve that.

The translated Bible helped improve literacy, maybe it can do so for LA?
