Louisiana Defends Ten Commandments in Schools Law
News summary

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill have defended the state's new law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms. They argue that the mandate, which has faced legal challenges on constitutional grounds, should be upheld and that parents uncomfortable with the displays should simply tell their children not to look at them. The law, requiring the religious text to be displayed in a large, readable font, has been contested by a coalition of families and civil rights groups who argue it violates the First Amendment. Murrill has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming it is premature since the displays have not yet been implemented. Both officials showcased potential designs for the posters, asserting these could provide educational context and adhere to constitutional standards. The controversy underscores ongoing debates over religious expression in public schools and democratic principles versus minority rights.
