My idiot governor's educational steps backwards

[PeterB]

He signed into law, bills today that do the following:

1) Require the Ten Commandments to be posted in school

2) Establish the "GATOR" fund, which passes public money to private schools

3) Forbid discussion of gender identity between teachers and students

4) Disallow the use of personal pronouns that conflict with a student's "God given" gender

... truly regressive. More here: https://apnews.com/article/louisiana-ten...53db005a62

On #1, he's been quoted as saying that he can't wait to be sued. I hope he is, and loses big.

Edit: ya know, it's sad when your state's governor is vying with Florida's to be the biggest jack@ass ever.

He close but still not at the DeSantis level. I don't see any of the other 49 governors taking the Desantis stupidity crown. Possibly if NC elects Mark Robinson, but otherwise the others are also-rans.

Note I said "jack@ass", not "stupidity". I agree that DeSantis corners the market on the latter.

... as for the Ten Commandments, apparently the bill doesn't specify what language it has to be in, so some educators might choose to get creative. :devil:

There must be a Klingon translation already

I'm not a big fan of vandalism but I hope the students graffiti the hell out of these things. Make them have to replace them every day.

Hm, how about Arabic?

There's no requirement that the poster must face into the room.

Have it face the wall.
