The Louisiana Illuminator reports:
Louisiana is closer to becoming the first state that requires all schools that receive state money to display the Ten Commandments in each classroom. Legislation with that edict gained approval Thursday from the Louisiana Senate and is on its way to the House for apparent final approval.
The bill’s proponents believe a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that reinstated a coach who had been fired for leading prayer after high school football games would apply to House Bill 71 if it becomes law. But the American Civil Liberties Union is still expected to challenge the measure if Republican Gov. Jeff Landry approves it.
Sen. Adam Bass, R-Bossier City, carried the bill for its author, Rep. Dodie Horton, R-Haughton, and presented the Ten Commandments as a historical document that merited a place of prominence in classrooms.
Read the full article. Horton appeared here last month for her pending K-12 “Don’t Say Gay” bill and has claimed that being LGBTQ is a “choice.” Last year lawmakers approved Horton’s bill requiring “In God We Trust” placards in all public school classrooms. Under his eye.
Louisiana is poised to become the first state requiring display of the Ten Commandments at all schools that receive public funding, including colleges and universities. https://t.co/HIxBju5Hrh
