A spokesperson of the Hindu community is seeking to have ancient Sanskrit scriptures displayed in public classrooms alongside the Ten Commandments.

On Wednesday, Gov. Jeff Landry signed a law that requires each public classroom, starting from kindergarten to state-funded universities, in Louisiana to display the Ten Commandments.

The President of the Universal Society of Hinduism Rajan Zed said in a statement that the Bhagavad Gita, or the Gita, was a historically significant document and he believes is a treasure that should be displayed in public school classrooms.

    That’s only if they feel like they have to care about being “fair”. Or attempting to have ethics or agree on having a social contract.

    They no longer care.

    It is already well-known that requiring the Ten Commandments in the classroom is unconstitutional. They don’t think it matters or welcome the fight on it.
