Dear readers, to those who have quite rightly concluded in this silliest of silly seasons that the country is going to the dogs, apologies.

And I’m not even referring to Swiftmania; if only our ills really could be cured with friendship bracelets and a loud chorus of Shake It Off. Somehow, amid all the other crises that beset us, seagull-psychos have us in their claws.

STORY: Louisiana was sued on Monday over its new law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in all public school classrooms in the state. The complaint said displaying the Ten Commandments violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Jeff Sims, a pastor with children in Louisiana public schools, was among the nine families that brought the suit in Louisiana federal court in the capital Baton Rouge. "This new law doesn't just interfere with my and my children's religious freedom. It tramples on it. The separation of church and state means that families get to decide if, when and how their children should be introduced to religious scripture and texts, not the state." Louisiana became the only U.S. state requiring displays of the Ten Commandments when Republican Governor Jeff Landry signed the law last week. It’s part of a broader push by conservative groups to make expressions of faith more prominent in society.Some hope that such laws, when challenged in court, could eventually receive a friendly welcome at the U.S. Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority.That court in 1980 declared unconstitutional a Kentucky law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in public schools.However, in 2022, the court sided with a high school football coach in Washington state who said he had a constitutional right to pray with his players on the field after games. Landry's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
