LOUISIANA – Livingston Parish just voted unanimously to put the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom.

Let’s stop pretending this is about “religious freedom.” Students already have the right to pray and hold religious beliefs in public schools. This is about government using the classroom to promote a specific religious tradition.

Public schools are not churches. They are not Sunday schools. They are supposed to serve every student — Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, nonreligious, and everyone else — without the government elevating one faith above the rest.

And this is exactly why people have been sounding the alarm. Once these laws are passed, school boards move quickly to normalize sectarian religious displays as if they belong in public education.

They do not.

This is government religious promotion, plain and simple.
