Louisiana Becomes First State To Require Ten Commandments In Public School Classrooms

Well, I guess it’s really a matter of ….. viewing the world through the lens of the Bible or viewing the Bible through the lens of the world.

 

Well John Adams helped draft the Commonwealth of Massachusetts state constitution, which supported the Anglican Church. Prior to the 14th Amendment, many of the early colonies had strong Christian pronouncements in their state constitutions. There has never been a strict separation of church and state. The Pledge of Allegiance, in God We Trust on our money, prayer invocations at all levels of government. I see no issue with putting the Ten Commandments up in schools in Louisiana. It’s their right to do so under the 10th Amendment.

 

Are quotes from several other religions also acceptable with you to be posted in a public school as a requirement?

 

If the state legislature passes such a mandate. Why not?

 

States are allowed to enact laws that are expressly prohibited by the US Constitution now?

 

"Supported the Anglican Church" is an interesting phrase. The Constitution in Massachusetts explicitly forbade one church from being established as superior to others.

 

I’m not a fan of any religion being in any public school. No more Ten Commandments, no more prayers of any kind, no more religious exceptions for things. There are more and more private schools that cater to those needs.
