New Lousiana law requires the Ten Commandments to be displayed in
every public school classroom
Louisiana has become the first state to require that the Ten
Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom under a
bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry on Wednesday.
The GOP-drafted legislation mandates that a poster-sized display of
the Ten Commandments in "large, easily readable font" be required in
all public classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities. Although the bill did not receive final approval from Landry, the time
for gubernatorial action - to sign or veto the bill -- has lapsed.
Opponents question the law's constitutionality, warning that lawsuits
would likely follow. Proponents say the purpose of the measure is not
solely religious, but that it has historical significance. In the
law's language, the Ten Commandments are described as "foundational
documents of our state and national government."
Civil liberties groups announced later on Wednesday that they planned
to challenge the Louisiana law in court.

It's political showboating, and a waste of taxpayers dollars since the
courts will not defend their grandstanding.
Upshot from founding fathers was you can believe what you want, but
don't harm others with your beliefs.
