Religious Freedom Could Win Big In Louisiana Public Schools
(Million Voices) “Louisiana lawmakers are growing close to passing a bill that would require public schools to display the Ten Commandments on school property.
Louisiana’s Senate voted 30 to 8 in favor of the bill (House Bill 71) in May. “The nature of the display shall be determined by each governing authority with a minimum requirement that the Ten Commandments shall be displayed on a poster or framed document that is at least eleven inches by fourteen inches,” the bill states. “The text of the Ten Commandments shall be the central focus of the poster or framed document and shall be printed in a large, easily readable font.”
Republican State Senator John Morris III added an amendment to the original bill, which would allow the Mayflower Compact and the Declaration of Independence in public schools. As these are key aspects of American history, they should be part of the normalized curriculum for all public school students. But because of the amendment, the original bill was placed back under consideration and voted on again before being sent to Republican Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry. “

Israeli troops operating in southern Gaza’s Rafah located several primed rocket launchers with long-range projectiles, the military says.
According to the IDF, some of the launchers were used in attacks on Israeli cities in recent months.
Troops of the 414th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit, using drones, located the primed launchers and demolished them, the military says.
In a different area of Rafah, the IDF says troops located another rocket launching site with dozens of launchers, before it was also demolished.
The site had also been used in recent attacks on Israeli cities, including last week’s barrage on Beersheba, according to the military.
