Louisiana’s Ten Commandments order reignites the debate over the separation of church and state in America.
The governor of Louisiana signed a bill Wednesday requiring the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom in the conservative US state, reigniting the debate over separation of church and state.
The legislation, the first of its kind in the nation, mandates that the biblical text be on display starting in 2025 in all public school classrooms from kindergarten through state-funded universities.
“If you want to respect the rule of law, you gotta start from the original law given – which was Moses,” Jeff Landry, Republican governor of the southern state, said at the bill’s signing ceremony.
