MODERATORS
 

A panel of three federal appellate judges has ruled that a Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in each of the state's public school classrooms is unconstitutional.

The ruling Friday marked a major win for civil liberties groups who say the mandate violates the separation of church and state, and that the poster-sized displays would isolate students — especially those who are not Christian.

The mandate has been touted by Republicans, including Donald Trump, and marks one of the latest pushes by conservatives to incorporate religion into classrooms. Backers of the law argue the Ten Commandments belong in classrooms because they are historical and part of the foundation of U.S. law.

2 weeks later…

“Supreme Court declares it’s ok to force 10 commandments anywhere deciding it was a free speech issue. They also said you cannot criticize trump and the n-word is okay, cause free speech. Simultaneously they denied the satanic church, Muslims, and Jewish faiths from posting anything.“

I won't say that they really have separation of church and state until they remove mentions of god from their currency.

Also, the fact that this even became a state law just shows how backward their society is.
