Attorney General Russell Coleman (R-KY) announced that the commonwealth was leading the 18-state coalition in support of Louisiana’s law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms and state-funded universities.
District Public Relation Personnel Heather Gardner declined to comment on the attorney general announcement and, as of publication, neither Glasgow nor Caverna Independent Schools have provided comments.
The Louisiana bill requiring the displays was signed into law in June by Governor Jeff Landry before a federal district court blocked the law from taking effect in November. The law also requires a “context statement” to be displayed along with the commandments, “which provides examples of the Ten Commandments being a prominent part of American public education [in the past] three centuries.”
“From our founding documents to the establishment of the rule of law in the United States, the Ten Commandments’ influence on American history is undeniable,” Coleman said in a press release. “I am proud to support Attorney General Liz Murrill and Louisiana in the effort to preserve our shared history and educate future generations.”
Coleman was joined by the attorneys general of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and West Virginia.
