Although Louisiana recently declared Juneteenth a state holiday, its governor conducted official business on Wednesday, making Louisiana the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom.

Republican Gov. Jeff Landry signed a bill drafted by the state’s GOP-controlled legislature. It mandates that by Jan. 1, 2025, every public school classroom must display the Ten Commandments “on a poster or framed document that is at least eleven inches by fourteen inches,” and adds that “[t]he text of the Ten Commandments shall be the central focus of the poster or framed document and shall be printed in a large, easily readable font.”

“If you want to respect the rule of law, you have to respect the original law giver, Moses,” Landry said as he signed the bill Wednesday.
