The American state of Louisiana ordered the Ten commandments of God to be displayed in all classrooms of the state’s educational institutions, the world agencies reported.
A local ordinance dictates that the Ten Commandments must be on posters that are large enough — 12 inches by 8 inches — to be easy to read. They will be placed from kindergartens to universities.
The law was drafted by representatives of the Republican Party, which holds a two-thirds majority of the seats in both houses of the Louisiana legislature. The posters will be funded through donations and no government funds will be used for them.
According to NGOs, the new law violates the rule of separation of church and state and is a blatant violation of the constitution.
Louisiana is the first and only state with such a law.
