While everyone's in a frenzy about Alabama's Ten Commandments monument, the courthouse in Bastrop, Louisiana has one, too:
While an Alabama judge faces an ethics investigation for refusing a court order to remove a 5,280-pound Ten Commandments monument from that state's judicial building, a three-foot-tall plaque featuring the biblical commandments hangs quietly in the Morehouse Parish Courthouse, drawing little notice and few complaints.
"We have not heard a word," said Carol Jones, the Morehouse Parish clerk of court, about the brass plaque. "No one has come down to me as clerk of court with any objections."
Police Juror Jim Brent said the plaque was donated a year-and-a-half ago, along with three equal-sized displays featuring the preamble of the Constitution and the national and state pledges of allegiance.
I'm sure they'll hear from someone soon. In the meantime, absolutely no one is religiously oppressed because of its presence.
