Louisiana begs to be sued for forcing Ten Commandments on kids

Louisiana became the first state to require the display of the Ten Commandments in every classroom as Gov. Jeff Landry signed a sweeping education bill on Wednesday. The bill, which also removes requirements for COVID-19 vaccinations and limits schools’ authority to require any other vaccinations, seems tailor-made to generate a string of lawsuits as state legislators place performative politics ahead of children’s education.

The Ten Commandments requirement is definitely the part of the bill that’s generating the most attention. As The Washington Post reports, Landry declared that “if you want to respect the rule of law, you’ve got to start from the original lawgiver, which was Moses.” 

It’s a deliberate attempt to challenge the Constitution and force one specific religion into public schools.
