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.

    😱

    I bet it doesn’t say how much the taxpayers spent on lawyers to find out the obvious.

      No one could have predicted that the separation of church and state would refer to the Ten Commandments in public schools. No one.

        True. Those fuckwits in the Louisiana legislature were totally blindsided.

    How many of the ten commandments have the Christian fascists broken already?

    Seems like this would violate one of the amendments.

      Since it’s not plainly obvious to those who drafted, passed, and signed the law it must be one of the newer amendments. I’ll start reading from the most recent amendment to the earliest until I come across something about establishing religion.

        I appreciate this statement so much that I wish i could up vote it a hundred times more, but all I can do is comment about that so I’m doing it. I laughed a very good laugh. The anticipation is poetry.

    Post the 10 commandments in Arabic, with alternating colors in each letter that correspond with the Pride flag. Just to be petty.
