1. Laugh first? Cry first? Cry laughing? Laugh crying?

2. Just hang up the pillars of islam and other important sects of different belief systems. Freedom of religion. All religions. Either have all of it in the classroom or none of it.

3. This is such a bad move… It blurs the line between church and state and will alienate students of different faiths or who are flat out non-religious. Public schools should be a place for inclusive education, not religious endorsement.

4. tl;dr

   I can’t.

   I just can’t…even…begin, to summarize this interview. You just have take a swig of wine,buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

5. We need to start taxing churches since separation of church and state isn’t a thing with the GOP ramming it down our throats. So unconstitutional and unAmerican per usual for the GOP. The GOP virtually does the opposite of these commandments also.

6. Yes! More of this from the media

7. They want theocracy (conservative Christian) and know precedent doesn’t matter. 50 years and they took down Roe. All civil rights up next. They will fight 50 years again to strip it all away. Sadly doubt it takes that long per right with all the Christian Nationalists around.

8. She did a second interview later on CNN and that didn’t do her any favors either.

9. It’s not a fucking document. It is an excerpt from a religious text. Period.

   The fact that she cannot address the subject directly by answering questions and she disingenuously refers to the tc as a document proves that she is not acting in good faith. If her position was a solid one, she would not have to use sleight of hand to get through interviews.

   They’re like fucking children thinking semantics are somehow going to trick their parents like some sort of magic spell.

10. So ignorant

11. I love how she pivots to providing moral guidance with crime out of hand. Lady, crime is at an all time low and the first instruction in the document is, “I am the lord thy god, thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Moral guidance?

    One might accuse her of bearing false witness here.

12. She quotes the one nation under god on our money as a reason to hang the Ten Commandments, you know, the phrase added during the Nixon administration to separate us further from the USSR, AND doesn’t specify which god.

    They are fucking morons, and this bill needs to be abolished immediately

13. Put up portions of the Code of Maimonides and see how fast these people try to pull them down

14. “Don’t Look At It”

    Great, now let’s start applying it to everything else yall idiots are whining about.

    Don’t like BLM protests or players kneeling on football fields? Don’t look.

    Don’t like pride flags, LGBTQIA people, Trans athletes, Trans people in general? Don’t look.

    Don’t like gender neutral bathrooms, safe spaces, or pronoun badges? Don’t look!

15. Their plan is all spelled out in [Project 2025](https://www.project2025.org/). They aren’t even hiding it anymore.

16. Those big crosses by the highways all over the South mean “keep driving if you don’t look and think like us” and everyone knows it.

    Here you’ve got children with a right to attend these schools free from bullying forced to see the same message.

    This is the sin of taking the Lord’s name in vain. Right there in the Louisiana code.

17. *Galaxy Quest*’s historical documents were better.

18. Man, I can’t even listen to this woman speak lol.

    This is a waste of Louisiana tax payer money. Pure and simple.

19. Do Christians seriously believe that the Ten Commandments is theirs?

20. Hail Satan you Christo fascist pig

21. How long before these required posters start to get vandalized? Especially above 5th grade

22. Wow, this woman is such an indoctrinated ditz.

23. And Louisiana being solid Trump country. So how’s those Ten Commandments workin’ out for y’all?
    Not well, it seems.

24. Every single person they interview about this they need to start the conversation with “if this is so important, please list all ten commandments right now.”

25. I live in Louisiana and think this is just GOP grandstanding in order to change the subject away from the many serious problems our state has that they are unwilling or unable to do anything about.

26. If they like some moral guidence for their kids maybe they want to add the tennents of the satanic temple? Would be at least more up to date.

27. This is a lawmaker? She’s acts like a pissed off high school girl. Her demeanor could not be more unprofessional. Also let’s not forget god isn’t real. No offense to anyone but all gods are man made and there has never been any evidence to support any god. Talk is not proof.
