Louisiana has enacted a law requiring the display of the 10 Commandments in all public school classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities. The law, signed by Governor Jeff Landry, mandates a poster or framed document with a large, readable font and a 200-word context statement. The law is already facing criticism and legal challenges, with the ACLU preparing to sue, arguing it undermines religious freedom and equal education. Similar measures have been attempted in other states but have not passed. The law's implications could reach the Supreme Court.
