MODERATORS
 

Louisiana has become the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom under a bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry on Wednesday. 

The GOP-drafted legislation mandates that a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in “large, easily readable font” be required in all public classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities. Although the bill did not receive final approval from Landry, the time for gubernatorial action — to sign or veto the bill — has lapsed. 

Opponents question the law’s constitutionality, warning that lawsuits are likely to follow. Proponents say the purpose of the measure is not solely religious, but that it has historical significance. In the law’s language, the Ten Commandments are described as “foundational documents of our state and national government.

Display them in Arabic.

This would never have survived scotus 5 years ago. Today I would not bet against them finding it constitutional

Lol, that's exactly what I thought of too. Assuming https://legiscan.com/LA/text/HB71/2024 is correct I think my image fits the legal requirements.

It does specify specific text, but it doesn't say I can't add additional text.

Also it has to be easily readable.

Also it has to be easily readable.

That's a tall order for a state that has a terrible education system.

Daaaamn, dog. Louisiana is going to need to invest a lot of money into reforestation after that sick burn.

That's painful to look at, I can't agree that it's easily readable

Green on red is classic complementary colors.
