Whenever a politician cites “Judeo-Christian values,” I find it’s generally followed by something unsettling.
Let’s bear in mind that what many Americans value in this country is its inclusion and protection of everyone, regardless of their beliefs.
One week later, Landry’s fellow Christian soldier Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s superintendent of public instruction, announced plans to mandate teaching the Bible in public schools. Walters said learning the Bible is necessary to having “an understanding of the basis of our legal system.” Not only have such moves been declared unconstitutional , but they are also exclusionary and offensive to many.
In a suit challenging the Louisiana law, Americans United for Separation of Church and State noted that among the state’s approximately 680,000 students, many do not practice any religion at all. In response, Landry called on his followers to “stand up for Judeo-Christian values.” When it comes to the Ten Commandments, four of the 10 concern a specific form of worship with a specific god. I’m on board with a rule against killing, for instance, but somehow this god has given a lot of killing a pass in his name.
