Louisiana is the only state that will require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom.
A federal judge heard arguments at a hearing Monday on whether he should temporarily block a new Louisiana law that requires the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom by Jan. 1. Louisiana , a reliably Republican state in the Bible Belt, is the only state with such a requirement. Proponents argue that the measure is not solely religious, but has historical significance to the foundation of U.S. law.
Louisiana's legislation applies to all public school K-12 and state-funded university classrooms. It requires the Ten Commandments to be displayed on a poster or framed document at least 11 inches by 14 inches where the text is the central focus and 'printed in a large, easily readable font.' Each poster must also be paired with the four-paragraph context statement.
