Republican Governor Jeff Landry of Louisiana has boldly signed a bill that mandates the display of the Ten Commandments in all public school classrooms across the state. Predictably, this courageous move has caused an uproar among those who conveniently forget the significant role these commandments have played in shaping our nation’s laws and traditions, extending far beyond mere religious symbolism.

The new law explicitly requires a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments to be prominently placed in every classroom, from kindergarten through state-funded universities. This isn’t just about religion – it’s about acknowledging the historical and foundational importance of these commandments in shaping both our state and national laws. Importantly, this initiative will not burden taxpayers as it will be funded entirely by private donations.

Supporters of this groundbreaking legislation rightly argue that the Ten Commandments are not solely religious artifacts but hold immense cultural and historical value. Blackstone’s “Commentaries on the Law of England,” the pre-eminent law book during our nation’s founding, clearly states that the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” confer inalienable rights on all individuals, as outlined in our Declaration of Independence. The Ten Commandments, as detailed in the Bible, also establish critical rights like the right to life, property ownership, and due process of law.

Opponents of this law, predictably trying to undermine its significance, argue that it contravenes the Constitution’s Establishment Clause which prohibits government favoritism towards any particular religion. They conveniently refer to a previous Supreme Court case where a similar law in Kentucky was deemed unconstitutional. However, their argument falls flat when considering how the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Establishment Clause has evolved over time. The Court now considers historical practices and understandings of our nation, which may actually favor Louisiana’s decision to display the Ten Commandments.

Our nation’s founding was deeply rooted in a biblical worldview, with the belief in a just God overseeing world affairs and establishing timeless divine laws. The Ten Commandments form an integral part of this biblical worldview and have significantly influenced our nation’s laws and values. They establish fundamental rights like the right to life, property, and due process of law, while emphasizing the importance of family and parental roles in society.

The decision to reintroduce the Ten Commandments into Louisiana classrooms is not just significant but absolutely necessary. Despite inevitable opposition from those who fail to recognize our nation’s heritage and founding principles, this brave move serves as a reminder of how these commandments have shaped our laws and values. It promotes historical awareness and understanding of the biblical principles that have built our society. This is a step forward in preserving and upholding the traditions and values that make America truly great.
