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.

    I like the “all or nothing” approach. It negates the “but my religion is extra special and the true one”.

      All scriptures, equal space for each scripture, same font (not necessarily same size) same colors.

      Also need to leave some space for new religions/scriptures. It’s only fair.
