A group of Louisiana families, supported by human rights organizations, have filed a lawsuit in federal court to challenge a new state law mandating public schools to display the Ten Commandments. The lawsuit was submitted to the US district court in Baton Rouge, marking the beginning of what is anticipated to be a significant legal battle that may ultimately reach the US Supreme Court. Christian nationalists are eager for this confrontation, aiming to dismantle the long-standing separation of church and state in the country.

A prominent Texas Republican, Dan Patrick, has announced his intention to introduce a bill similar to one in Louisiana that would require public schools to display the Ten Commandments. Patrick, who serves as the lieutenant governor of Texas, plans to introduce Bill 1515 in the next session of the state senate, which he presides over. This bill would mandate the display of the biblical commandments in all classrooms across the state. Patrick's proposal is part of a broader effort to promote religious values in public schools.
