在一项有争议的法案于周三签署成为法律后，路易斯安那州的公立学校和大学将被要求在明年张贴十诫的图像。
下面的血红蛋白71从幼儿园到大学水平的公共教室必须在2025年初张贴一张戒律海报。
民权组织已经质疑这项法律，该法律于5月28日在路易斯安那州共和党控制的州议会通过，认为它违反了公共建筑中政教分离的原则。美国公民自由联盟威胁要起诉。
该法案由共和党州长杰夫·兰德里(Jeff Landry)签署，连同他所说的其他一揽子计划，旨在“扩大对公立学校的信心”。
兰德里在签署该法案的新闻发布会上说:“如果你想尊重法治，你必须从最初的立法者开始，那就是摩西。”
该法案的作者认为，这项措施不仅仅是宗教性的，而且具有历史意义。目前没有其他州有这样的展示十诫的授权
十诫在法律文本中被描述为“我们州和国家政府的基础文件”
历史记载，美利坚合众国第四任总统詹姆斯·麦迪逊说，“我们把我们这个新国家的整个未来都押在了这里。”...根据十诫的道德原则，我们每个人都有管理自己的能力，”法律文本这样写道。
法律规定，这些展览将由私人捐赠而非国家出资，将“展示在海报或框架文件上”。该法案的文本也要求用大的、易读的字体印刷。
展览还将配有一个四段的“背景陈述”，描述十诫如何“成为美国公共教育近三个世纪的重要部分”
然而，路易斯安那州美国公民自由联盟认为该法律的语言公然违宪，并在一份声明中表示，它计划起诉该州。
美国公民自由联盟援引了1980年美国最高法院对斯通诉格雷厄姆案的裁决，该裁决裁定肯塔基州为其公立学校系统通过的一项类似法律违反了美国宪法的建立条款。
路易斯安那州美国公民自由联盟在一份声明中说，“H.B. 71授权的展示将导致违反宪法的对学生的宗教胁迫，他们在法律上被要求上学，因此是学校赞助的宗教信息的俘虏观众。”
“他们也将向不遵守该州首选版本十诫的学生和家庭发出一个令人不寒而栗的信息，即他们不属于，也不受欢迎，在我们的公立学校，”美国公民自由联盟路易斯安那州补充说。
兰德里的教育一揽子计划还包括授权在学校雇用牧师的法律，限制教师提及性取向或性别认同，并防止学校使用跨性别学生的首选姓名或代词，除非得到家长的许可。
Louisiana public schools to display Ten Commandments in classrooms after controversial law passes
Louisiana public schools and colleges will be required to post an image of the Ten Commandments next year after a controversial bill was signed into law Wednesday.
UnderH.B. 71public classrooms starting from kindergarten to the collegiate level must have a poster of the Commandments up at the start of 2025.
Civil rights groups have already questioned the law that passed in Louisiana's Republican-controlled state legislature on May 28, contending it violates the separation of church and state in public buildings. The American Civil Liberties Union has threatened to sue.
The bill was signed by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry, along with a package of others he said were designed to "expand faith in public schools."
"If you want to respect the rule of law, you've got to start from the original law-giver, which was Moses," Landry said at a news conference where he signed the bill.
The bill's authors contend that the measure is not solely religious, but that it has historical significance. No other state currently has such a mandate for display of the Ten Commandments
The Ten Commandments are described in the law's text as "foundational documents of our state and national government."
"History records that James Madison, the fourth President of the United States of America, stated that "(w)e have staked the whole future of our new nation ... upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments," the text of the law read.
The displays, which will be paid for by private donations and not state dollars, will be "displayed on a poster or framed document," the law says. The legislation's text also calls for it to be printed in large, easily readable font.
The displays will also be paired with a four-paragraph "context statement" describing how the Ten Commandments "were a prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries."
The Louisiana ACLU, however, contended that the law's language is blatantly unconstitutional and said in a statement it plans to sue the state.
The ACLU cited the 1980, U.S. Supreme Court decision Stone v. Graham, which ruled that a similar law passed in Kentucky for its public school system violated the establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution.
"The displays mandated by H.B. 71 will result in unconstitutional religious coercion of students, who are legally required to attend school and are thus a captive audience for school-sponsored religious messages," the Louisiana ACLU said in a statement.
"They will also send a chilling message to students and families who do not follow the state’s preferred version of the Ten Commandments that they do not belong, and are not welcome, in our public schools," the ACLU of Louisiana added.
Landry's education package also includes laws that would authorize the hiring of chaplains in schools, restrict teachers from mentioning sexual orientation or gender identity, and prevent schools from using a transgender student's preferred name or pronouns unless granted permission by parents.
