Louisiana Governor knows this will increase his popularity

[martybegan]

The governor knows that being sued by liberals would be a dream come true. It would increase his popularity. I bet they sue anyway.

If Republicans actually had any spine, I would see this as the first shot in getting the Pride stuff out of Public Schools.

Get the 10 commandments rejected, and then posit that Pride events are basically religious instruction without the religion.

If public schools can provide for rooms and mats for Muslims to pray

If all religions are allowed the same displays, there is no problem at all. But when it is the only thing allowed to be displayed, you have a problem.

Yes, the 10 Commandments are represented on one of the friezes decorating the US Supreme Courthouse. It is one of many friezes decorating that building showing law and law givers.

We have social justice freedom today. And a nation that lives in semi anarchy through it. Freedom must have some discipline in it. We are more and more moving into a dictatorial government which is forcing discipline on certain groups they deem privileged with ulterior motives.

Look up Stone v Graham you dumb Red Hat. It holds that the 1st bars public schools from posting the 10 commandments. See this is why you dumb fucks have zero credibility. You are both stupid and a liar. The precedent is public schools ARE NOT allowed to post the commandments you dumb liar. This has been US precedent for 40 years. Open a book you idiot.

The Supreme Court now, will more than likely vote for the commandments.

The United States was founded on the Ten Commandments.
Time to teach the truth.

Our country was founded on the Ten Commandments. There is no other religion we used to develop our laws. The only problem we have is people who think we must destroy our founding and then elevate other religions to the same level or above Christianity.

Yes, let's display the Moslem Koran view of homosexuality and the punishment of. I am all for that.

Of course that is why he did it.

Do you think he shouldn't be sued for violating the constitution just because it will make him more popular to voters that don't care if he violates the constitution?

Red meat for the base.

He knows it won't pass constitutional muster or they will have to have statues of satin...one or the other.

Good luck!

So, in half the stories the rooms are for anyone that wants to use them.

As long as they are there for anyone, I see no issues.

Also, did the school add religious material in the rooms, or just offer a space?

The Founders and the Framers Adamantly Did Not Intend to Make the Ten Commandments Law

Thomas Jefferson specifically railed against attempts to claim that the common law incorporated the Ten Commandments when he criticized judges for "lay[ing] the yoke of their own opinions on the necks of others by declaring that [the Ten Commandments] make a part of the law of the land." John Adams also questioned the influence of the Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount on the legal system.

At the Constitutional Convention, the Framers looked to the examples of antiquity--the Greeks and the Romans - and not to the Ten Commandments. They were a pragmatic lot, and they were not interested in being bound by their religious heritage (despite today's claims to the contrary)

Those Framers who were well educated had studied antiquity and the classics in depth (unlike the vast majority of Americans today, even those who are college educated). Thus, they were perfectly comfortable borrowing and adapting whatever suited their purposes. It would be a huge overstatement to say that they felt themselves constrained by the four corners of the Bible in finding the right government, or setting up the ultimate law that would rule the U.S.

The sources that influenced the Framers ranged from Greek and Roman law, to John Locke, to Scottish Common Sense philosophers, to Grotius. The influence of the Common Sensists was quite evident in the Framers' strong belief in the power of reason--not revelation or Biblical passages--to determine government. They were also influenced by the dominant religion of the time--Calvinism--in the sense that their world view was rooted in distrust of any human who holds power. And this list is only a beginning.

Meanwhile, the very tenor of the times was distrustful of organized religion, and especially stakeholder claims to truth by religious individuals. Madison declared, in his Memorial and Remonstrance of 1785, "experience witnesseth that ecclesiastical establishments, instead of maintaining purity and efficacy of Religion, have had a contrary operation. During almost fifteen centuries, the legal establishment of Christianity has been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution."

True, they did not make the Ten Commandments, law. It is as I stated, we based our government and laws on Christianity.
The Declaration of Independence laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity.
John Adams

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Thomas Jefferson

 

[BlindBoo]

Why is it nobody ever pushes for that?

Charlton Heston didn't make a movie about them.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Also, did the school add religious material in the rooms, or just offer a space?

And, I’m sure the wall space that is hosting the Ten Commandments is for anyone to use. set up room for religious purposes, make sure it is open for all. Same model can work for the walls.

See how that works?

These are Natural Rights, enumerated in the Declaration of Independence, are for humans not just Christians, contrary to the Monarchy or a Divine King, like George. The Constitution makes no reference to a Creator.

that and the beatitudes do not really resonate with Christianity today.

Can you imagine any Conservative in America today getting up and talking about the meek and the peacemakers?

Either that or split hairs on it.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Good, then any other religion can put up their version on that wall next to the 10 Cs.

I am sure you support that, right?
