Last week, Louisiana ushered in anew, controversial lawrequiring a version of the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms. As you could expect, the law is already facing alawsuit from parents, and heavy criticism online.

Whatever fall out to complete legal separation of Christian church and province ? I thought that was in the constitution …

1.“I think it’s an awful idea. I’m Jewish (though not particularly religious), so the Ten Commandments are part of my religion anyway. However, I am in favor of a complete separation of church and state.”

" Having grow up have favouritism due to my religion from class fellow and even some adult military volunteer starting as early as unproblematic school , I absolutely can not support any religious preconception saint in law for or against any organized religion . It ’s incredibly uncomfortable already for students of a spiritual minority to attend schools with large populations of children raised in one picky ( majority ) faith without this expressed government endorsement of Abrahamic faith . I ’m o.k. with single teachers , students , families , or staff expressing their vista in an appropriate linguistic context that does not disgrace other religions , and I think teaching pupil about the assortment of faith people around the existence trust in is all important to raising kind , fair , open - disposed kid , but this law is just very thinly veiled Christian propaganda that I do n’t know how any fair person could support .

2.“If someone mentions anything about the queer community, they’re pushing gay agenda. However, putting the Ten Commandments in every classroom isn’t pushing a conservative agenda… Is it just me, or does it smell like double standards in here?”

3.“I’m not particularly religious, I’m gay but I really have no objection to the Ten Commandments being displayed.”

" I have no problem with my shaver attend to religious event , either . The commandments do have some mortal guidance , and there is never anything haywire with lesson . It ’s not like the teacher will be doing a whole Bible sermon . "

" Nobody has the right field to force their beliefs on another somebody . The only reason this even is in question is because Christians are the large American religion . This is a legal age faith draw their opinion on everyone else , and it ’s awry . "

6.“Religion has no place in schools outside of a mythology class.”

7.“I’m completely opposed to it, but I don’t think I would notice it if I were a kid. What I noticed growing up was being required to sing Christmas songs in school. I’m Jewish, and it always pissed me off having to sing Christian lyrics I didn’t believe in. That was extremely offensive, but I had no choice, and it definitely scarred me.”

" And because I did n’t lionize Christmas , I was treated like an alien by other students . I do n’t know if singing Christmas songs is still need in school today , but I hope not , so non - Christian students do n’t have to go through what I did . "

8.“As a teacher, it’s terrifying. I teach special education, and my students would not understand what it meant, and I would be so uncomfortable displaying that in my classroom.”

" It mark the heck out of me that the separation of church and state is getting smaller and small . Our founding fathers would be horrified . I ’m horror-struck . Our student are representative of a sort of background , civilization , and religions , and to actively represent a singular religious belief is horrifying and against everything that public education tolerate for . It is horrible that this has to be a give-and-take . "

9.“Also, a state ranked 42nd in education should be posting letters and grammar, not the Ten Commandments.”

Writer ’s promissory note : The state ’s education arrangement is actuallyranked forty-seventh , according to US News and World Report .

10.“The only reason anything from the Bible should be posted in a class is if it is being used to teach about the impact of religion on world history.”

" Even then , there should be quotes from other spiritual literature and quote from Darwin and other scientists fascinate how skill and applied science have bear on chronicle . Otherwise , your religious edicts have no place in my schoolroom . As an atheist who would never press my opinion on anyone , I am so exceedingly violate by this go on in a public school funded by a government that hold sanctified freedom of religion . "

11.“I love Jesus and try to keep the commandments, and this is absolutely unconstitutional and inappropriate. You’re going to explain to kids what adultery and coveting your neighbor’s wife means?”

" How are kid of other organized religion going to find ? The commandments do n’t mention homosexuality or abortion , so those are okay now , yes ? I remember religion can be a wonderful thing IF it is a choice , not bring down upon others . I trust what I believe , you believe what you believe ; lease ’s all settle down down . "

12.“I wouldn’t have a problem with it as long as they display text from other religions as well. Otherwise, it shouldn’t be in public schools.”

13.“Lawmakers forget (or ignore) that not all students follow the same religion.”

" A few eld back , there was somecontroversyover the line ' under God ' being featured in the Pledge of Allegiance . The current education system seems to be less about find out and more about image , and it ’s cheerless to be a part of it . "

14.“School should be a safe place for everyone, especially if home isn’t.”

16.“Louisiana’s new law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms should be necessary because morality, values, and discipline nowadays have been slowly decaying, and most evil or toxic people are desperate to find excuses or quotes that support their stupidity.”

" Religion exists because it should help oneself us to do it what is right , and if there are any actus reus , we should have a go at it how to address with it . In term of how we perceive culture and gender differences , we still do democracy and right , but too much of it leads to anyone who can be abusive and manipulative , which could affect every panorama of our lifetime . The Ten Commandments in the Bible teaches or it states us to do what is right and avoid any error if possible ; whether any other person ’s or multitude ’s unlike faith have their own variant of the Ten Commandments , the purpose of displaying the Ten Commandments is to be aware and be educated of morals , values , and discipline , which has been recede today . "

And finally…

17.“Louisiana teachers should use it to teach students which commandmentsDonald Trumphas broken and Republicans continue to ignore.”
