Louisiana Becomes First State to Require Ten Commandments Display in Schools

New Law Signed by Governor Jeff Landry

Public Schools Must Display Commandments in All Classrooms

In a groundbreaking move, Louisiana has become the first state in the nation to mandate the display of the Ten Commandments in all public school classrooms. Governor Jeff Landry signed the legislation into law on Wednesday, making it effective immediately.

The law requires schools to display a poster of the Ten Commandments in a "conspicuous place." The posters must be "of sufficient size and clarity so that they can be easily read by students." Schulen dürfen die Zehn Gebote nicht kommentieren oder interpretieren.

Governor Landry said that the law is intended to "promote morality and ethical behavior" among students. He believes that the Ten Commandments are a valuable guide for living a good life and that they should be taught in schools.

However, the law has been met with some opposition from groups that argue that it violates the separation of church and state. The American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana has said that it is considering a legal challenge to the law.

Despite the opposition, the law is likely to be popular with many parents and students in Louisiana. A recent poll found that 72% of Louisianans support the display of the Ten Commandments in schools.
