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.
There are currently 4,000 religions in the world today (ball park figure)
Show them all.
Little Timmy’s art work he’s proud of?
Sorry. No room because we have to cater to religious assholes who make up the Republican party.
I like the “all or nothing” approach. It negates the “but my religion is extra special and the true one”.
All scriptures, equal space for each scripture, same font (not necessarily same size) same colors.
Also need to leave some space for new religions/scriptures. It’s only fair.
I love that idea and I think that’s the only fair way to do things.
The sucky part, which is sucky already, is that the law says that the schools themselves have to pay for the 10 Commandments posters. Really. And the law gets worse from there.

Well yeah. It takes money away from schools. That’s the end game.

I’m vaguely recalling a Jim Carry line from Bruce Almighty, “Smite them oh mighty smiter!”
