BATON ROUGE, LA – As LSU prepares to comply with the new state law requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in every public university classroom, administrators confirmed they have submitted what they describe as a “narrow, football-season clarification.”
The request does not challenge the mandate itself. Instead, university officials are asking lawmakers to temporarily suspend enforcement of “Thou Shalt Not Take The Lord’s Name In Vain” for the entire Football Season.
The clarification follows multiple incidents last season in Tiger Stadium during missed tackles, blocked kicks, and several field goal attempts.
Officials insist the exemption would apply only within a defined radius of the stadium and only during live play.
Governor Jeff Landry praised LSU’s commitment to posting the commandments but declined to comment on whether SEC officiating constitutes a qualifying exemption under scripture.
University officials added that the exemption would automatically expire at the final whistle of the season, unless the game goes into overtime, in which case “all bets, and possibly several other commandments, are off.”
