Nine More Things About Louisiana's '10 Commandments' BS
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry signed a bill requiring every public school classroom to display the Ten Commandments after bragging that he “can’t wait to be sued” for this outrageous assault on the Constitution.
But the legislation package does a lot more than force Christianity on children. For example, it also removes requirements for COVID-19 vaccinations and limits other vaccinations.
Not only is the overall package a hodgepodge of religious right thirst traps, but the part about the Ten Commandments includes plenty of outright strange.
Here are nine of the most outrageous components of this legislative package.
1. The version of the Ten Commandments in the bill isn’t even in any version of the Bible
The bill doesn’t stop at requiring that the Ten Commandments be displayed, it resolvesany concerns over how different translations (and Catholic vs. Protestant) Bibles include different versions of the commandments. The bill includes its own version that all schools are required to follow. That version isn’t taken from any translation of the Bible.
