Louisiana Enacts Law Requiring Display of Ten Commandments in Classrooms, Civil Groups Criticize as Unconstitutional and Prepare to Sue

Reported about 1 year ago

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry stated that a new law mandates the display of the Ten Commandments in places like classrooms in all Louisiana schools, citing respect for the rule of law starting with the founding legislators, namely Moses. The Commandments, originating from the Old Testament's Exodus, comprise moral guidelines shared among various religions, with ACLU and similar groups considering such displays as violating the free speech rights and the nation's principle of separation of church and state. Despite arguments that the Commandments hold historical significance beyond religious mandates, the issue is becoming a sensitive political topic in the US ahead of the 2024 elections.
