If I taught in Louisiana

If I taught in Louisiana
you best believe I'd know the score,
I post the ten commandments in Hebrew
and hang a mezuzah by the door

The kids could sit on a pentagram rug
in the lotus position if they choose,'
Unitarian talks and Pagan rites
with inclusion you can't lose

The next mandate is not hard to guess:
Trump's picture on the wall
a breaker of every commandment
the irony lost on each and all

Talk of separation of church and state
would only be met with anger and hate
should I be forced to hang doctrine on the wall
I'd just choose to not teach at all.
