Louisiana has become the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom under a bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry on Wednesday. 

The GOP-drafted legislation mandates that a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in “large, easily readable font” be required in all public classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities. Although the bill did not receive final approval from Landry, the time for gubernatorial action — to sign or veto the bill — has lapsed. 

Opponents question the law’s constitutionality, warning that lawsuits are likely to follow. Proponents say the purpose of the measure is not solely religious, but that it has historical significance. In the law’s language, the Ten Commandments are described as “foundational documents of our state and national government.

I'd just hang my classroom full of different religious and non-religious commandments.

The christian one will be there ... somewhere.

Probably covered by the 10 commandments of Tacos:

::: spoiler spoiler

  • Thou shall stuff to capacity, and then a little more
  • Thou shall honor thy taco father and taco mother
  • Thou shalt not skimp on the cheese, and lest it be fresco, thou shall let it melt
  • Thou shalt not charge $6 for a taco
  • Thou shalt not use crappy tortillas
  • Thou shall be consistent with size
  • Thou shalt not overcharge for avocado
  • Thou shall stop referring to fusion tortilla wraps as tacos
  • Thou shalt not overlook breakfast ingredients
  • Thou shall have pride in your tacos, or not have tacos at all :::

unfortunately i think you would be absolutely fired

I'd rather be fired for not being a Christian than to be an actual Christian any day. Especially an American Christian.

I was thinking frame them in a really bad frame that falls on its face all the time. If you have older students, just loudly state how much you would dislike it if the commandments were stolen or otherwise defaced and let nature do its work.

But I like yours.
