The Ten Commandments to be displayed in Louisiana classrooms

BATON ROUGE, La. — Louisiana has become the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom under a bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry on Wednesday.

The GOP-drafted legislation mandates that a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in “large, easily readable font” be required in all public classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities. Although the bill did not receive final approval from Landry, the time for gubernatorial action — to sign or veto the bill — has lapsed.

Opponents question the law’s constitutionality, warning that lawsuits are likely to follow. Proponents say the purpose of the measure is not solely religious, but that it has historical significance. In the law’s language, the Ten Commandments are described as “foundational documents of our state and national government.”

The displays, which will be paired with a four-paragraph “context statement” describing how the Ten Commandments “were a prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries,” must be in place in classrooms by the start of 2025.

The posters would be paid for through donations. State funds will not be used to implement the mandate, based on language in the legislation. (AP News)

If you need to be bribed with eternal rewards, threatened with eternal punishments to live ethically, and treat others as you'd like to be treated, are you really a good person?

I realized after reading the 10 commandments that Donald Trump has already broken them all. 10 for 10!

t's about time! Thanks Louisiana for doing the right thing for others to imitate. Also, once again, we must also require the prominent displaying of Washington and Lincoln (Hamiltonian American System Presidents) portraits for the character building mindset necessary toward revival of a future mission orientation promoting wealth creation progress under peace, through mutual physical development, under Trump's "Agenda 47" policy

This is a frightening precedent defying the separation of church and state. This is a slippery slope of which right extremists will surely take advantage. Setting standards of conduct and morality does not need to be tied to any one religion. At our local high school there is a list called pillars of integrity.

A move in the right direction. This is a Christian nation and are laws are going to go back to reflecting that.
