Louisiana bill seeks to require 10 Commandments displays in public schools

Louisiana lawmakers are getting close to passing a bill that would require public schools to display the Ten Commandments on school property, despite concerns over the religious nature of the document.

Last Thursday, the Louisiana Senate voted 30-8 in favor of House Bill 71, a measure that requires government-funded schools to "display the Ten Commandments in each building it uses and classroom in each school under its jurisdiction."

"The nature of the display shall be determined by each governing authority with a minimum requirement that the Ten Commandments shall be displayed on a poster or framed document that is at least eleven inches by fourteen inches," the bill states.
