Louisiana’s governor has signed a bill into law requiring public schools there to display the Ten Commandments, making it the only state with such a law. The resultant fight to maintain the separation between church and state in Louisiana is discussed on The ReidOut with Joy Reid.
In recent weeks, red-state Republican officials have revived a long-running conflict over religion in the public schools. In doing so, they have created an ahistorical justification for the Supreme Court to immolate long-settled precedents. First, Louisiana adopted a state law requiring that a copy of the Ten Commandments be posted in every public school classroom.
Moses was not, in fact, “the original lawgiver.” The Code of Ur-Nammu and the Code of Hammurabi, to name two examples, were composed centuries before Moses lived. Even within the Bible’s own chronology, Noah advanced a set of moral laws long before Moses. The Ten Commandments were not, in fact, “foundational documents” for the government of the United States of America. There are aspects of the criminal code, of course, that overlap with some of the Ten Commandments.
