  • Louisiana becomes the first state to require Ten Commandments displayed in all public school classrooms.
  • Governor Landry's law is seen as a political move to appeal to conservative Christian voters.
  • Civil liberties groups, including the ACLU, plan to challenge the law in court, citing First Amendment violations.
  • The Supreme Court's current conservative majority may influence the outcome of potential legal battles.
  • Similar legislation and religious mandates in public schools are emerging in other states.
