Louisiana enacts a law requiring schools to display the 10 Commandments

Or, as I refer to it, an "Attorney Full Employment Act."

From CNN -

Louisiana classrooms now required by law to display the Ten Commandments

Louisiana public schools are now required to display the Ten Commandments in all classrooms, after Republican Gov. Jeff Landry signed the requirement into law Wednesday.

House Bill 71, approved by state lawmakers last month, mandates that a poster-size display of the Ten Commandments with “large, easily readable font” be in every classroom at schools that receive state funding, from kindergarten through the university level.

House Bill 71 in Louisiana was sponsored State Rep. Dodie Horton; while it was passed by the legislature and signed in law by the governor there but a different bill here experienced a different fate.  State Sen. Anthony Kern's SB1151, doing pretty much the same thing,  was vetoed by Governor Hobbs

Both Horton and Kern are listed as members of the State Freedom Caucus Network -















Kern and Horton have a bit of a history.  In 2015 or 2016 both signed on to an amicus brief supporting a Texas law restricting access to abortion.

Also, in 2018, both received  money from the Koch brothers.

My only question is this:

So how long before Kern proposes a bill making Arizona part of western Louisiana?
