Ten Commandments in Louisiana schools is fine - as long as they note the ones Trump broke

[Zorro]

Louisiana’s governor signed a law requiring a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom in the state, something I’m completely fine with as long as those posters say, in large font along the top: “The Ten Commandments, Most of Which Donald Trump Has Violated.”

That seems fair, and I would be comfortable with students of any age walking into a classroom and receiving a daily lesson on the meaning of hypocrisy.

The Republicans who pushed for this law, which makes Louisiana the only state to mandate Ten Commandments posters in schools, seem laser-focused on history and accuracy. They describe the commandments as “a historical document.” And after signing the legislation, Gov. Jeff Landry said: “If you want to respect the rule of law, you’ve got to start from the original law giver, which was Moses.”

Okey doke. Let’s go with that. Because respecting the rule of law matters. And if we’re respecting the rule of law, I’m sure Gov. Landry would agree it would be educational malfeasance not to inform Louisiana students that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and former president – a man Landry himself has enthusiastically endorsed – has broken a slew of the laws outlined on their classroom poster.

And Governor Landry is mistaken about who the original lawmaker was --apparently he's never heard of the Code of Hammurabi.

1. Some people are noting that children will see how many and how often

Parents, politicians, and teachers, break the commandments when they see them every day.

People who put up glass houses shouldn't commit crimes in them.

2. I think we

Should comply with the fake Jesus request, and post the 10 commandments on every city lamp post and rural power posts throughout the country.
But print them on poster size laminated paper, with the “Lyrics” superimposed over trumps mug shot.
Add an 11 commandment, “Absolute Immunity for Trump” of all 10.
Ya know, show a little bipartisan love.
Or require them to be carved in stone in Hebrew in La. Schools

3. They should be in Hebrew ... just the way God dictated them to Moses

It sounds facetious, I know. But I'm really not joking.

Display the Commandments in the original Hebrew and teach these kids in Louisiana how to read Hebrew.
