A spokesperson of the Hindu community is seeking to have ancient Sanskrit scriptures displayed in public classrooms alongside the Ten Commandments. 

On Wednesday, Gov. Jeff Landry signed a law that requires each public classroom, starting from kindergarten to state-funded universities, in Louisiana to display the Ten Commandments.

The President of the Universal Society of Hinduism Rajan Zed said in a statement that the Bhagavad Gita, or the Gita, was a historically significant document and he believes is a treasure that should be displayed in public school classrooms.

This is how you get Christians to lobby for no religion in schools.

Now if there's an imam to step forward, we could really accelerate this process.

Wait until the Satanic Temple joins the action...

Somehow I think Islam is the bigger problem. I think they don't take the Satanic Temple as seriously. 😂

Yeah most of them know their balls are being busted by "Satanists"

Oh no they don't. They believe in the literal devil and you can be sure they haven't done five minutes of research.
