Another F*cking Guy
It's like Whack-a-Mole with assholes
Let me start this by saying, “Hashtag NOT ALL LOUISIANANS BUT MOST LOUISIANANS.” Also, “Hashtag NOT ALL CHRISTIANS BUT A LOT OF THEM.”
Now, let’s talk about another fucking guy that’s come to my attention: Governor Jeff Landry of the great state of Louisiana. Do I even need to tell you which party he represents? I think we all know he’s a proud member of the GOP, which is an organization full of fucking guys like him.
So, the Louisiana state lawmakers got this idea that every school should have a poster-size copy of the TEN COMMANDMENTS on display in every flipping K-12 classroom in the state. These religious fuckwits spent their precious time fighting for this bullshit on behalf of their constituents. Meanwhile, U.S. News and World Report gave Louisiana an overall ranking right at 50. Psst, Louisiana Lawmakers, I know math is hard for y’all, but you want to be number one on this list.
The Governor was THRILLED to sign this steaming pile of dog shit into law. Mostly because he seems to cater to religious nutbars. I’m sure he and his buddies are like, “We might have the fifth lowest literacy rate in the country, but we’re the FIRST state in the nation to get the Lord’s Sacred Words on the walls of our schools and government buildings! Suck it, U.S. News and World Report!”
This 10 Commandments thing was stuck inside 20 other education bills that are supposed to help Louisiana dig itself out of the ditch and get their kids educated. I haven’t seen everything on the list, but I’m guessing new science textbooks aren’t on there since they don’t believe in evolution and think Jesus rode a dinosaur to temple. I’m guessing fully stocked libraries with ALL kinds of books aren’t on there since books can cause students to feel uncomfortable about their history or just make them gay. I’m guessing mandating posters with quotes from the Qur’an aren’t on there because WTF? This is ‘Merica where we believe everyone is (or should be) a God-loving christian and swear The Bible is “My favorite book.” It’s not like America is a country that was founded on religious freedom or anything.
What IS on there (besides God’s rules He took 40 days and 40 nights to inscribe on some stone tablets that Moses smashed to bits when he Hulked out over a golden calf) are the following:
