The ten commandments from the Bible should be on the wall of every classroom in the state of Louisiana in the American South. The Republican majority and the governor there have established it in law.

This means that children, young people and young adults from an early age and up to university level must be taught God’s ten commandments every day they are in a classroom.

The commandments are listed in the books of Moses. According to biblical tradition, Moses received the commandments on Mount Sinai from the God of Israel, Yahweh.
