Down in Louisiana, where I’m mostly from (it’s complicated), the Republican-controlled state legislature has passed a bill, which was signed into law by the Republican governor, that forces every public school in the state to post the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry said, “This bill mandates the display of the Ten Commandments in every classroom — public elementary, secondary and post-education schools — in the state of Louisiana,
The Louisiana chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Freedom From Religion Foundation and other groups said in a joint statement, “The First Amendment promises that we all get to decide for ourselves what religious beliefs, if any, to hold and practice, without pressure from the government. Politicians have no business imposing their preferred religious doctrine on students and families in public schools.”
More hypocrisy comes in the fact that these Christians would never allow a document from another religion to be forced upon children in public schools.
But how can Republicans preach to children that they shouldn’t lie, steal, commit adultery, covet, etc, when they follow a person who aside from the grifting, the lies, the insurrection, is a man who didn’t just cheat on all three of his wives but has bragged about cheating on his wife and has been accused by 26 women of sexual assault, and has been determined by a court of law to be a rapist.
Here’s the deal, people: You can’t be a Jesus freak while being a Trump freak.
