Louisiana Requires Ten Commandments in Public School Classrooms Starting 2025
Jun 19, 2024, 06:47 PM
Louisiana has become the first U.S. state to mandate the display of the Ten Commandments in all public school classrooms. The law, signed by Republican Governor Jeff Landry on June 19, requires that the commandments be posted in a large, easily readable font. This legislation will take effect starting in 2025 and has sparked controversy, with opponents questioning its constitutionality and anticipating potential lawsuits. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has already filed a lawsuit challenging the law, arguing that it violates the First Amendment's prohibition on laws respecting an establishment of religion. Governor Landry defended the law, stating that the Ten Commandments are foundational documents of the state and national government.
