Federal judge blocks Louisiana law that requires classrooms to display Ten Commandments

quote:
A new Louisiana law that requires the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public classroom by Jan. 1 has been temporarily blocked after a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction on Tuesday.
The judge said the law is “unconstitutional on its face” and plaintiffs are likely to win their case with claims that the law violates the First Amendment.
The ruling marks a win for opponents of the law, who argue that it is a violation of the separation of church and state and that the poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments would isolate students, especially those who are not Christian. Proponents say that the measure is not solely religious, but that it has historical significance to the foundation of U.S. law.
U.S. District Judge John W. deGravelles in Baton Rouge, issued the order in an ongoing lawsuit filed by a group of parents of Louisiana public school children. They say that the legislation violates First Amendment language forbidding government establishment of religion and guaranteeing religious liberty.

Let's see how much more money Landry will waste on this bull shite.

Actually a good plan. He should have that tiger with him 24/7 like the Arab princes do.

Of all the things wrong with this state, this is what Landry is worried about.

Maybe we can pass a law to have Omar’s picture in every classroom instead.

Landry knew what the outcome of this would be when he did it. The SpCrt precedent on this and similar issues is a mile long. It was obviously a stunt where the outcome was predetermined.

I find it interesting how the 1st amendment--which preserves the right to religious belief/expression--is used as an excuse to exclude religion from the public square.
We need a constitutional amendment declaring that Jesus Christ is the King over the nation.

Everyone with two functioning brain cells saw this coming.
Which is why Landry supported it.

It does not, however if you you are going to include one religious display you have to include all of them. (At least according to the Courts, I am not agreeing or disagreeing one way or the other).
The State cannot choose one endorse and exclude others.

This is the right wing version of the dumb shite the left did to lose the election.

This would have opened the door to making classrooms put up pictures of Omar.

Religion doesn’t belong in school. Teach your kids religion at home and in your church
