GOING ON. LOUISIANA'S GOVERNOR JUST MADE HIS STATE THE FIRST STATE TO REQUIRE ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO DISPLAY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN CLASSROOMS. THIS OBVIOUSLY RAISES MAJOR CONSTITUTIONAL CONFLICTS AND LANDRY CLAIMS HE CAN'T WAIT TO BE SUED. ADDING, IF YOU WANT TO RESPECT THE RULE OF LAW, YOU'VE GOT TO START FROM THE ORIGINAL LAW GIVER, WHICH WAS MOSES. I ACTUALLY THINK IT'S ACTUALLY GOD IS THE ORIGINAL, BUT CALL ME CRAZY. BUT I MEAN, DOES HE -- IS THIS THEATRE OR DOES HE THINK THIS IS GOING TO STAND UP IN COURT? >> I THINK HE THINKS IT'S GOING TO STAND UP. IF YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THE RULE OF LAW YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULE OF THE SUPREME COURT AND I WOULD SAY THE SUPREME COURT HAS SAID THE TEN COMMANDMENT DISPLAYS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THAT HAPPENED IN 1980. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NEARLY IDENTICAL LAWS AND HALF CENTURY AGO THEY SAID IT WASN'T OKAY. I THINK WHAT HE IS BANKING ON IS THIS REACTIVE, VERY PARTISAN SUPREME COURT WILL OVERTURN PRECEDENT AND SAY, NOW, THIS IS OKAY. AND WE SHOULD BE VERY AFRAID OF THAT BECAUSE WE'RE NOW IN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD WHERE YOU HAVE A PRECEDENT FROM THIS CENTURY SAYING YOU CANNOT DO THAT ANYWHERE -- >> Whoopi: THEY'VE TRIED TO OVERTURN IT FOUR TIMES. >> Sunny: AND IT HAS HELD. THEY DON'T THINK IT WILL HOLD THIS TIME AND THAT SHOULD SCARE EVERYONE. >> Sara: DO YOU THINK IT WILL? >> Sunny: I'M NOT SURE. THAT'S SOMETHING LIKE SUPERPRECEDENT. IT'S NOT SO PRECEDENT IT'S THE DEFINITION OF CHURCH AND STATE AND IT'S A TENANT OF THE SOCIETY -- >> Whoopi: IT'S CONSTITUTIONAL. IT'S CONSTITUTIONAL -- >> Sunny: I DON'T KNOW IF IT'LL HOLD. >> Whoopi: IF THEY'RE SAYING THE LAW, WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH IS LAW BECAUSE THEY LIKE TO SAY WE ARE A CHRISTIAN NATION. NO WE'RE A NATION OF MANY RELIGIONS. SO IF YOU'RE PUTTING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, DOES THAT MEAN WE'RE PUTTING THE KORAN IN? ARE WE GOING TO INCLUDE THE WRITES OF BUDDHA? >> Sunny: I CAN SEE THEM SAYING STATES RIGHTS. SAYING LET EACH STATE DECIDE. >> Alyssa: I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE EDUCATION I GOT IN CALIFORNIA. WE LEARNED ABOUT ALL RELIGIONS AND THE WAY THEY IMPACT OUR LAWS AND SINKS THE WAY THEY'RE ENSHRINED. THAT'S YOU YOU TEACH RELIGION, YOU DO IT IN A WAY THAT AFFECTS THINGS PART OF THEIR EDUCATION GOING FORWARD. WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THIS, IN LOUISIANA FEWER THAN 50% OF KIDS BY THE THIRD GRADE ARE READING AT A THIRD GRADE READING LEVEL. THEY'RE BRINGING FORWARD THIS DECISION THAT WILL BE CHALLENGED IN THE COURTS, THE STATE WILL SPEND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FIGHTING THIS THAT OTHERWISE COULD BE BROUGHT UP IN THE CLASSROOM TO BRING KIDS UP TO SPEED. IT FEELS LIKE SHOWMANSHIP, TO SHOW WHAT SIDE OF THE HEADLINES YOU ARE ON. THERE'S A WAY TO TEACH FAITH IN A WAY THAT'S BENEFICIAL. THIS SEEMS LIKE SHOWMANSHIP. >> Sara: I DON'T MIND IF THE SCHOOL BECOMES THE PLATFORM FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE RELIGION ON CAMPUSES. WE USED TO HAVE A PRAYER SUNDAYS WHERE A GROUP OF ATHLETES COULD GO. >> Alyssa: YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO. >> Sara: YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO. IT WASN'T DURING SCHOOL HOURS AND THE SCHOOL WAS NOT INVOLVED. I'M NOT OPPOSED TO DIFFERENT GROUPS SAYING WE'RE INTERESTED IN THIS, GO DO THAT. I DON'T MIND THAT PART. BUT THE SCHOOL POSTING IT BECOMES TAKING A STANCE OR ENDORSEMENT OF SORTS AND I THINK THAT'S INCHING INTO A PROBLEMATIC PLACE. I DO NOT HAVE THE LEGAL EXPERTISE. THIS WOULD BE CONCERNING BECAUSE, UNLIKE ABORTION WHICH WAS DECIDED AS A RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND BECAME A PRECEDENT OVER TIME, THIS IS THE ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT, WHICH IS WHY THIS COUNTRY WAS BORN TO ALLOW FOR THAT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. NOT BECAUSE THE MESSAGE IS BAD PUT IT IN YOUR OWN WORDS. I DON'T NEED MY YOUNG CHILD ASKING ABOUT ADULTERY ON THE WAY HOME TO SCHOOLS. >> Joy: THEY WANT TO POST IT IN SCHOOLS. I SAY POST IT AT MAR-A-LAGO AND PUT A PICTURE OF STORMY DANIELS NEXT TO IT. WATCH THIS AD THAT'S BEING PUT OUT BY THE LINCOLN PROJECT. >> I'M PROUD TO PROMOTE THE USA BIBLE. IT'S MY FAVORITE BOOK. I CAN STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF FIFTH AVENUE AND SHOOT SOMEBODY. >> DONALD TRUMP FOUND GUILTY OF 34 COUNTS OF FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS. >> DONALD TRUMP'S HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS TO ADULT FILM STAR STORMY DANIELS. >> SHE HAD AN AFFAIR WITH TRUMP. >> I AM THE CHOSEN ONE! >> THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION DEFRAUDED THE STATE OF NEW YORK. >> $354 MILLION. >> I'M VERY GREEDY. WE MUST MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN. >> Joy: HE HAS BROKEN 11 COMMANDMENTS AND THERE'S A WAIT LIST. I MEAN, THIS GUY HAS GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND AND YET THESE SO-CALLED CHRISTIANS ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR HIM. THE CHILDREN SEE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN SCHOOL AND THEN THEY SEE THEIR PARENTS -- >> Sara: CERTAIN CHRISTIANS. >> Joy: OKAY. >> Sara: EVANGELICAL -- >> Joy: I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY'RE CHRISTIANS WHO ARE VOTING FOR HIM. >> Sara: I'M A CHRISTIAN AND I'M NOT VOTING FOR HIM. >> Joy: I KNOW THAT ABOUT YOU. I DON'T THINK ANYONE ON THIS PANEL IS VOTING FOR HIM. BUT THEY'RE OUT THERE. IT SEEMS IRONIC HE'S BROKEN EVERY LAW OF EVERY COMMANDMENT AND THEY THINK HE'S THE ONE TO VOTE FOR? WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH EVERYBODY? >> Whoopi: I DON'T KNOW. THIS BOTHERS ME TO NO END, BECAUSE I -- I GREW UP AND YOU WERE ALLOWED TO BELIEVE HOW YOU BELIEVED. IT WASN'T REALLY STUFF YOU DISCUSSED WITH OTHER PEOPLE. YOU HAD YOUR BELIEFS, YOU HAD YOUR RELIGIOUS THING AND IF YOU WEREN'T RELIGIOUS, NOBODY KNEW. WHAT I DON'T LIKE, WHAT I'M STARTING TO GETTING AGGRAVATED AND I HAVE TO WATCH MY LANGUAGE BECAUSE I THINK BEING AN AMERICAN IS A GREAT THING. WE HAVE RIGHTS HERE YOU CAN'T GET ANYWHERE ELSE. BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT CHILDREN LEARNING THINGS, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND IS, I HAVE THE SAME RESPECT FOR MY CHILD THAT I HAVE FOR YOURS. I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO BELIEVE WHAT I BELIEVE. I'M NOT ASKING YOUR KID TO BELIEVE WHAT I BELIEVE. PUBLIC SCHOOL IS PUBLIC SCHOOL. MEANS EVERYBODY CAN GO TO PUBLIC SCHOOL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY, IF YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO HAVE A RELIGIOUS EDUCATION, SEND THEM TO A RELIGIOUS SCHOOL. THERE'S NOTHING STOPPING YOU. GET OUT OF MY POCKET, GET OUT OF MY BODY, AND GET OUT OF MY SCHOOL! [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] I JUST -- I DON'T UNDERSTAND. AND I WANT TO BE REALLY CLEAR. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH RELIGION. YOU KNOW WHERE I WAS A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. >> Joy: THE POPE. >> Whoopi: I WAS WITH ANOTHER GUY WHO'S, YOU KNOW -- BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I CAN'T HAVE MY THOUGHT PROCESS, MY CHILD, MY FAMILY. WHY WE CAN'T DECIDE FOR OURSELVES. WHY ARE YOU PUSHING THIS ON -- WHY ARE YOU PUSHING IT ON ANYBODY?
