On The Reidout (aka The Freakout), Joy Reid ripped into Louisiana for requiring the posting of the Ten Commandments in public schools. The "Christian nationalists" are upsetting the "freedom from religion" crowd and they're clueless about Moses to boot.

Joy had to underline, with statistics, how Louisiana is a completely backwards and racist state. Then she brought on Rachel Laser, the head of a group called Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, which is suing Louisiana with the Freedom FROM Religion Foundation and the ACLU. 

A great irony emanated from this case, she said: : "It is ironic to me these are the same people who will make the argument that a pride flag in a classroom is indoctrination, but they don't think the Ten Commandments is indoctrination. I see some irony there."

Before Joy Reid mocked people for objecting to the Pride flag, her leftist guest, Americans United boss Rachel Laser, argued this is Christian nationalism, and the conservative brand of Christianity. As a mom, she had a complaint: "Children. They're captive audiences in school. They're impressionable. No children should be made to feel afraid of being ostracized or bullied or like they don't fit into the in group." 

Except they're forgetting to mention they cannot stand anyone who refuses to support the pride flag, which means...children should be afraid of being ostracized or bullied if they don't go along with the teacher's LGBTQ advocacy. NBC News reported in 2021 that one California teacher went viral for suggesting to her students they should pledge allegiance to the pride flag (she had removed the American flag from her classroom). 

CBS Mornings offered a big story for Pride Month on the creation story of the pride flag, which ended with host Gayle King gushing "I think it’s such a beautiful symbol" and the flag “represents the full spectrum.” It recognizes a spectrum of sexual and gender preferences, but it certainly doesn't represent a spectrum of public opinion.

Speaking of Pride Month, a splashy front page story in USA Today made a huge controversy out of the mayor of Great Falls, Montana declining to recognize Pride Month. "New mayor Cory Reeves said he thinks the  city should neither 'condemn nor celebrate' personal relationships." Neutrality is dissent! the paper complained Pride Month is "widely recognized in municipalities...to affirm and celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) people and their distinct cultures."

Finally, NPR media reporter David Folkenflik celebrated the first scalp in his crusade to purge any Rupert Murdoch-associated journalists from The Washington Post. But he and his leftist friends aren't stopping at just one. Enjoy the podcast below, or wherever you listen.
