Do they want Baphomet in their schools? Because this is how you get Baphomet in your schools.

    You have to be careful, though. In the wrong hands, philosophy can be a dangerous thing.

    Keep promoting ideas like “Thou Shalt Not Kill”, “Keep the Sabbath Holy”, and “Don’t Worship False Idols”, and people might start thinking all our wars, our insane work schedules, and our fetishistic consumer culture aren’t good.

    Given the habits of your average Louisiana legislator, you might want to scrap the Seventh Commandment entirely.

    It always amuses me when these pseudo-Christians have to reach back to the Old Testament to justify their fascist foaming - it’s almost as if the parts that are actually based on Christ contains nothing of value to them.

      What is funny to me is that the part of the Bible they ignore is the Christian half. The old testament is closer to the Quran or Torah then they probably realize…

    If I were a teacher in that state, I would definitely hide it somewhere where students never look if they don’t have rules on where it has to be placed. That, or if a student vandalized it, I would pretend not to see it and when asked why it’s vandalized, just play dumb.

    “simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”

      Last I knew, nobody was committing genocide in the name of Baphomet or Satan Lucifer…or pretty much any god except the Dommy Abrahamic Sky Daddy.

        They haven’t read it. They have just heard what is in it from their leaders. Just like the banned books or the Bible.

      Cause they are Putin’s Pooh Stains. He (& by his shitting out/spoon feeding marching orders, they) want to dismantle democracy.

      His offense budget (~40k/year per social media troll (how many does he employ?)) does wonders against our defense budget (IDK how many hundreds of billions, but random memory says mid 7s).

      It’s technically not against the Constitution. The First Amendment prevents the government from creating or establishing a religion, and thereby prevents the power of the government from expanding beyond civil matters.

      SCOTUS further restricted religious public education by ruling against religion in public curriculum in Engel v. Vitale in 1962.

      Having religious text on display without induction into the curriculum is legal. Only now that they’ve mandated one religion, other religions have a platform for equal representation. Maybe it’s time for The Satanic Temple to open a Louisiana congregation?

        Lol no. And SCOTUS has said no several times. There is no, “oops I left my Bible out and accidentally converted some kids” carve out for government employees. Religion stays at the door.

          SCOTUS has ruled against it in curriculum, but separation of church and state is from one of Johnson’s speeches, and not technically in the Constitution. I wish it were. My point wasn’t implying defense of the display. I don’t want it in schools either. I’m simply saying if they want to play by the rules of Originalism, then all churches deserve equal representation according to the Constitution.

              Do you have a link to that case ruling? I’d like to be up to date. I’m familiar with Engel v. Vitale, but that is exclusive to curriculum teaching. It does not apply to religious works on display.

                Stone v Graham was exactly this. Kentucky tried to put the Ten Commandments into schools. SCOTUS said no.

    I hope it will be posted on classrooms with appropriate historical context and commentary. Also aren’t there different versions of the ten commandments anyway depending on your exact religion?
