A recent debate has emerged surrounding the inclusion of religious texts in public schools in Louisiana. The controversy centers on a new requirement for classrooms to display posters with biblical commandments, such as 'thou shall not kill, steal, commit adultery and honor thy father and mother.' Critics argue that this mandate violates the constitutional principle of separation of church and state. Supporters, however, believe it is a better alternative to other ideologies they claim are being imposed on schoolchildren. The editorial from ExpressNews emphasizes that public schools should focus on teaching reading and writing, not religion. Additionally, some point out the inconsistency in Louisiana's interpretation of constitutional amendments, noting that while gun regulation is prohibited, religious texts are mandated in schools.
Outstanding. The past decade has proven that a religion WILL be imposed on schoolchildren. This is better than the religion of decarbonization, the religion of race grievance, or the religion of LGBTQIA2S+%{}~ https://t.co/qbWz7WEYWc
Louisiana. Where the Amendment about “a well regulated militia” prohibits all gun regulation, but the one on “no law respecting an establishment of religion” maybe lets them require Bible excerpts in public schools. 🤦🏻♂️ https://t.co/RouRy7dZnB
Requiring any religious words be displayed in public schools is entirely ridiculous. Get the heck out of here. https://t.co/v1UEYuiTU5
Libtards be like “It’s literally OUTRAGEOUS that Louisiana would require that children look at a poster in their classrooms every day that says thou shall not kill, steal, commit adultery and honor thy father and mother.”
