I note the article doesn't name the school. My thought process that led to this was on the first reading I noted it said it was a charter school. Charter schools were sold by our legislatures as being hybrid public-private schools that lacked religion.
I think this charter school is crossing some lines that were promised wouldn't be crossed when charter schools were approved by legislatures. Those kids need to find a more accepting environment, they're currently being harmed.
Reminds me of, "Accuse the opposition of that of which you are guilty."
I find myself wondering if I should pity them. They were likely given these commandments by their parents or churches when they were children, and never bothered to inwardly reflect on them, rather just uncritically accept them -- even as they don't follow them themselves.
How does Louisiana feel about beating the hell out of kids? I wondered so searched and results were primarily about kids being killed by beating. Not quite what I wanted, another search said Lousisana was rankied 49 in child well being. Yeah, that's a little closer, but still not what I wanted. Per the Bible, you're supposed to strike a kid with a rod to save their souls from sheol (which is another word for hell). Search says it's Proverbs 23:14, though I'm not gonna look, there are several different variants. My question is, since the bible actually says to beat the hell out of kids, has Lousiana immunized parents who do so? Or is this just more religious BS? Shove the 10 commandments down kids throats but still jail parents who beat the sheol out of kids? Legal contradictions.

It seems it's illegal to beat the hell out of kids, but that's pretty much what the bible tells parents to do. Posting the 10 commandments is some kind of police state entrapment.
And the White House is baffled by Netanyahu's claim about not supplying enough weapons to Israel. Is torture allowed under the Geneva Conventions?
Haven't you heard? Evangelicals are now rejecting the teachings of Jesus.
Giuliani turns to Christian Nationalists while Ms Willis responds to an Epsicopal congregation.
Last Friday, my colleague Stephanie Mencimer had the distinct honor—or misfortune—of witnessing Rudy Giuliani’s apparent attempt to convince the Christian right to help him amid his dire financial troubles. ...
... While speaking to leaders of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Georgia, Willis appeared to single out the former New York City mayor’s denigrating remarks. ...
It should be noted that the term I have been using – contagious sociopathy – is not mutually exclusive from what we have been observing with the perversion of Christian thought to suit sociopathic behaviors and the rise of fascism in the U.S. (Ruth Ben-Ghiat has written extensively on the latter). ...
The bolded link goes to a Pew Research page and looks like it will take me more time than I'm willing to spend digesting it. It occurred to me that sociopath or perhaps psychopath is an accurate psychological description of the god described in the old testament but not necessarily the new. Can anyone explain in a few words what is meant by "perversion of Christian thought"?
Rather important news if true.
Love your neighbor as yourself?
His viewpoint is that of Christian nationalism? That America is a Christian nation?
Gotta watch out for all those Martial Arts experts! 🤣
