I have not ever looked at the Ten Commandments and felt I must be of a particular religious sect.
Well, you're an idiot. So there's that.

Once it’s out the way, then I’ll be time to spend the next three years doing something REAL, like budget reform, tax reform, making a real attempt to address legacy lawsuits within the O&G industry, government structure and funding reform…things that Landry didn’t seem too interested in when campaigning, but needs to be done.
You think they are actually going to do that?
My guess is next year brings back Jindal-esque budget tricks due to the expiration of the sales tax increase and the lack of interest in cutting spending.
The two years after that? Maybe there will be more social conservative issues pop up.

Republicans are generally useless, so it's nice to see them fight back even if they are a bit overzealous. I'm not going to get upset, because now is not the time for small changes. We need immediate, strong reactions to the democrats before the country is completely lost. It's too late for timidity.
Exactly what changes do you think will occur, how will we able to beat the Dems back, because the 10 commandments are hanging up in a school?
This is the very definition of meaningless.
Meanwhile, we have some other issues we can use to beat back the left, that actually will make a difference.
Tax cuts.
Reform and shrink government.
Restructure higher ed
Reform insurance
etc

t the very least, we need to show the democrats we are willing to fight as much as they are. It can also be used in a negotiation. Start out with an extreme offer so you have more negotiating room to get what you want in a compromise.
This isnt a partisan issue. Liberals and conservatives both recognize that this bill is shitty.

Do the students not know that things like stealing, killing and lying is wrong?

A small nugget that hasn't been mentioned yet is that the author of the bill said all of our laws are based on the ten commandments, I have yet to find the law that does not allow a man to covet another man's wife

Which religion were the Ten Commandments created for I must ask?

Tell me how not feeling religious after reading the Ten Commandments makes me an idiot. Are you saying the reading of something that makes perfect sense must be religious?
How am I supposed to feel religious after reading the Ten Commandments?

They come from religious texts of Jews and Christians and are commandments from Yahweh....a god of the Jews and Christians.
I sense your perspective is that these commandments are for all mankind therefore are not religious. Is that correct?

This will inform them.
Just like taking down statues will stop racism and crime.

Just wait until an amendment is added that requires all these signs to be bought from a business owned by the author's brother in law...

True but by putting the 10 commandments (a christian doctrine)
the 10 commandments predates Christ and is used by non-christians (as in the Jews) too, not just Christians.

I think you too are arguing semantics at this point.
I believe he is saying the commandments are not for any one specific religion (i.e Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, etc.). In which case he is correct.
But what you are saying is also correct, by saying those who it's for those who all believe in the same specific god despite not being part of the same specific religion.

Founders were also believers in individual states conducting most of their affairs without heavy federal interference and I doubt would’ve stepped in to tell an individual state who wished to display the Ten Commandments in its public settings to cease.
This bill, if it becomes law, will likely be challenged as unconstitutional (along with the dumb arse bill requiring In God We Trust to be displayed in every classroom).
The Constitutional provisions prohibiting Congress from making laws respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise is incorporated into the states (and state legislatures) via Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment. This bill is essentially allowing government via the legislature to impose and establish religion (specifically Christian religion) in public schools and in schools that receive public funding. On its face, it is unconstitutional.
If a student or teacher wants to pray individually, completely constitutional (free exercise clause).
If government imposes a law promoting the establishment of religion, completely unconstitutional (establishment clause).
It's not a hard concept to grasp.

How do you get passed the first one without inherently tying it to religion?
