OPINION: The Ten Commandments may soon be coming to Idaho public schools
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry recently signed a bill into law requiring the Ten Commandments to be hung in every public school classroom in his state. He knew the bill violated the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution but did it anyway. Landry is a Christian nationalist who wants to infuse his version of Christianity into practically every aspect of public life in America.
Landry acknowledged that the bill would provoke a legal challenge but welcomed the prospect. He obviously wants to bring the case before the U.S. Supreme Court in hopes of getting the court to overturn previous rulings prohibiting the intrusion of religion into public schools. He knows he will have favorable federal judges in Louisiana to get the case before SCOTUS, and who knows what may happen there?
