Louisiana's Act 676 Mandates Ten Commandments in Schools, Signed by Jeff Landry, Sparks Controversy
Jul 8, 2024, 10:22 PM
A new Louisiana law, signed by Republican Governor Jeff Landry, mandates that poster-sized copies of the Ten Commandments be displayed in all public school classrooms. This law has sparked controversy, with families urging a judge to block the law, arguing that it forces the display of the 'Protestant version of the Ten Commandments.' Critics argue that the law infringes on religious freedom, while supporters claim it aims to educate students and put history in context. The law, known as Act 676, does not prevent teachers from displaying other documents around the Ten Commandments.
