Louisiana has become the first state to mandate the display of the Ten Commandments in all public classrooms, from kindergarten through college. Critics have condemned this move as a violation of the separation of church and state. Governor Jeff Landry, a Republican, signed the legislation into law on Wednesday, and organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union and Freedom from Religion Foundation plan to challenge it in court. Despite this, Landry remains unabashed, even expressing his eagerness to be sued during a GOP fundraiser in Nashville. According to him, “If you want to respect the rule of law, you’ve got to start from the original law giver, which was Moses.” The law specifies that the displays must measure at least 11 by 14 inches and feature the commandments in a “large, easily readable font.” They must also be the central focus of the poster, accompanied by a statement indicating that they have been a “prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries.”
