Messin' w Louisiana's 10 Commandments

Here at ESADoggy, a firm dedicated to advocating for the rights and freedoms of all individuals, we rise in stern opposition to Louisiana's House Bill 71, which requires the display of the Ten Commandments in public classrooms.

In response, we have launched a campaign to flood the Louisiana school system with maliciously-compliant posters. But, more about that in a moment.

This legislation represents a blatant disregard for the constitutional principle of the separation of church and state. Our public schools serve as a diverse and inclusive environment where students of all backgrounds, beliefs, and faiths should feel welcome and respected. By endorsing and promoting a specific religious doctrine within the educational system, HB 71 undermines this core tenet of our democracy and marginalizes students who do not share the same religious views.

Moreover, this legislation sets a dangerous precedent. It opens the door for further encroachments on the religious neutrality of our public institutions, potentially leading to divisive and discriminatory practices that have no place in our society. The role of education is to foster critical thinking, tolerance, and respect for all individuals, regardless of their religious affiliations. HB 71 is a step backward in achieving these goals.

As committed advocates for constitutional rights, our children deserve an education free from religious imposition, one that prepares them to become informed and open-minded citizens of a diverse and pluralistic society.

In past years, we've sent 'In God We Trust' signs throughout Texas and Louisiana, carefully crafted in various languages, such as Arabic, English Gay God, and Star Trek Pride.

With the passing of recent Louisiana legislation, CEO Chaz Stevens, master of malicious compliance, is once again testing the status quo through another massive donation of religious-themed posters.

Arabic.

Satan loves ya!

A not too subtle jab, no?

This sign is in English, but in reverse.

10 Commandments, Here We Go AgaIn

To financially empower his endeavors, Chaz's team seeks individual sponsors to help defray significant costs, including:

• Producing artwork that fully complies in letter and spirit with Louisiana's requirements

• Printing and delivery of materials in house

• Shipping prints directly to elementary, middle, and high schools

• Consulting

• Legal

• IT

• Marketing and PR

• Advertising

To ensure our civil liberties are fully protected, we’re delighted to enlist the expertise of in-house attorney Thomas Wright. Battling against strong winds surely to come our way from likely governmental opposition arguing against our signs, securing additional legal help will likely be essential for a successful campaign.

Proceeds to Support AIDS Research and Carbon Removal

A portion of our proceeds will be donated towards Second Harvest Food Bank Backpack Program. The Backpack Program is designed to reduce childhood hunger by bridging the gap between the school day and the weekend or school holiday.

And, being eco-aware, we'll make sure our efforts are carbon-neutral.

A Message from Chaz Stevens

My team's efforts and those of my company can be a powerful lever of change, driving progressive social justice by advancing the strategies and tools that deal with issues such as protecting democracy, LGB matters, and racial inequality. Nonviolent methods of conflict resolution have been shown time and again as the most efficient way to achieve peace and justice. Like Ben & Jerry's, I mix corporate duty with social responsibility.

Without ESADoggy, none of my work would be possible. Doggos and kitties rescue us all in more ways than I can count.

My thanks for your support, together we can protect Democracy.
