Shrieking Louisiana Rep Defends Ten Commandments In Schools: If You Don’t Like It, Then “Don’t Look At It”

“The teacher should be able to have an appropriate response, which is to tell them [children], ‘Look guys, this is historical document that’s posted on the wall to remind everyone of good morals, good principles.’

“Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not lie. These are important things. I think that in the state of Louisiana we have echoed a strong voice that we believe that faith is an important of the founding of this nation.

“Again, we got it posted in historical building all over the place. I don’t understand that this is such a shock factor to the nation that we would somehow do this!

“I’m proud that in the state of Louisiana we’re leading the charge on this and I’m proud that I pressed the button in favor of that bill.” – Louisiana Rep. Lauren Ventrella, on CNN.

When host Boris Sanchez asked if Ventrella would object to the posting of the “five pillars of Islam” in public school classrooms, Ventrella dodged the question, saying that if you don’t like seeing the Ten Commandments, “don’t look at it.” Then she mocked Sanchez’s salary.
