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.

Well it's about time that children learn not to boil a baby goat in the milk of its mother and to not, under any circumstances, put yeast in a blood sacrifice.
What? They aren't talking about the only ten commandments in the Bible actually called the ten commandments?

19 “The first offspring of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock. 20 Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem all your firstborn sons.
Wow. What does that even mean?
What it says, the firstborn of every womb belongs to God and should be sacrificed to him, but you can trade a lamb if you want to keep the firstborn, like a coupon.
So hypothetically, you either sacrifice a lamb to God or kill your first born child - this mirrors nicely with Passover.
Love the coupon analogy
I don't even know. I don't even know why there would be yeast in a blood sacrifice.
I dunno but we have this dish in Sweden called blodpalt. Bread with blood. I guess you can't sacrifice those.
I don't know that the authors of the book of Exodus were considering Swedish food when they wrote it. But I guess no putting cow blood on your matzoh before burning it at the altar?
