The Louisiana House of Representatives has passed Bill 71, which requires all schools that receive state funding to display the Ten Commandments.
This from thegatewaypundit.com.
Bill 71, introduced by Rep. Dodie Horton (R), passed 82-19 and will now be voted on by Louisiana’s Senate.
The bill states:
Each public school governing authority and the governing authority of each nonpublic school that receives state funds shall display the Ten Commandments in each building it uses and classroom in each school under its jurisdiction.
The Ten Commandments must also be framed and have minimum dimensions of eleven inches by fourteen inches.
Bill 71 calls for all K-12 schools and colleges

Per KSLA:
Most Louisiana classrooms would be required to display the Ten Commandments under a measure now making its way through the state Legislature.
The Louisiana House of Representatives approved the measure 82-19 and sent it on to the Senate for consideration.
If approved as written, House Bill 71 would apply to K-12 schools that are public or charter plus any non-public schools that receive state funds. The bill also would apply to public and non-public colleges. And there would have to be displays in in each building it uses.
State Rep. Dodie Horton, of Haughton, is among the lawmakers who are bringing forward House Bill 71.
That would be awesome! https://t.co/PJNcmfrDiI

If passed, Louisiana will become the first state to mandate that the Ten Commandments must be displayed in classrooms.
Final thoughts: A step in the right direction. We each must do our part. Thank you, Louisianna State Rep. Dodie Horton (R).
God speed to Conservatism and to the Take Back of our Constitutional Republic.
