Maybe I’m wrong and misread something but I know the victim was interviewed and she says she told them in 2005 at least. However I may have gone a bit off topic there.

We know that Morris and one elder knew but I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t shared beyond that.
But both sides are saying something different so who knows. In any case, it’s a really disgusting situation.
There’s still jail time and/or fines and/or house arrest and/or probation and/or pardons for those convicted of crimes, I thought.
What am I missing? Aren’t those consequences?

Without looking, I’ll see your Louisiana and
raise you ( or is that lower you) one Mississippi!
Are you saying when we took religion out of public schools, our schools went to crap ?
What time period are you saying this happened
and specifically how did we take it out ?
Are you referring to the 1962 rulings ?
Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama…the most worthless states? I mean New Mexico is trying to join them, but at least it’s pretty in places.

Come on now, Texas should at least get
honorable mention for getting this passed in the Senate last year, but came up inches short. Don’t miss messing with Texas.
The controversial bill, authored by the Republican state senator Phil King, would have required schools to display the Old Testament text “in a conspicuous place in each classroom”, in a durable poster or frame.
Passed by the Texas senate last week, the bill failed in the house. But it represented another sign of just how far to the right the conservative-majority Texas legislature is willing to go.
Yeah but Texas still has overall value even if it’s run by the same lunatics. I mean if we took the Crimson Tide and the Space base out of Alabama then sold it to Japan to pay off that portion of the national debt would anyone notice that we lost a state?
Oh such that could/should be illustrated for you.

I think this should just be left to the good people of Louisiana to decide for their classrooms. No one is being denied an education.

So which set of Ten Commandments do they display? The Jewish version, Catholic version, or Protestant version?
In choosing one, are they favoring one over the others?

lol. What’s the big deal? Students will just ignore it like most things posted on the walls of a school.

While very true about the students. It’s more about the act of the state endorsing and promoting any particular embodiment of religion.
I mean what makes the Commandments any more legitimate than say these.
THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS
I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.
V
Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.
VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

There you go ! That may be the reasoning the SC will use to let it go. Forget all that
separation of church and state crap.
Next start teaching creationism as real science and earth is just few thousand years old.
No harm there; it’s the good people of Louisiana right in their classrooms.
I hope your statement above was sarcasm.

I’m fine with hanging the ten commandments in every classroom as long as these hang right next to them.

Exactly the state and religion is kind of like inviting kindergarteners to birthdays if you invite one kid in class, you have to invite them all.
The muslims still do it right, chop hands off for stealing, stone women who didn’t get permission to leave the house. We need to get back to our religion having consequences. Why aren’t we burning heretics at the stake anymore or drowning witches?
One of the founding principles of America, pick the right religion or face the consequences
Why are you replying to me with this?
