Controversy Over Louisiana's Mandate to Post 'Ten Commandments' in Public Schools Raises Constitutional Concerns

Reported 8 months ago

Louisiana became the first U.S. state to legislate that all public school classrooms must display the content of the Ten Commandments from the Old Testament, causing controversy as critics argue it violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing freedom of religion. The governor claimed the Commandments are the 'basic document of the state and country,' but the law is likely to face legal challenges. Several organizations have criticized the law, emphasizing the importance of government neutrality towards religion in public schools.
