Louisiana this week became the first state in the country to require that the Ten Commandments are displayed in every public classroom in the state.

Governor Jeff Landry (R) signed the new law on Wednesday during the middle of Pride Month as woke teachers across the country display far-Left LGBT and transgender flags in classrooms.

Left-wing organizations vowed to challenge the new law in court while proponents said that displaying the Ten Commandments in classrooms was not just about religion, but “part of our state and national history, culture, and tradition”

The Ten Commandments are to be posted in every classroom “in a large, easily readable font” at every institution that receives public funding.

The text of the posters must state:

The Ten Commandments
I AM the LORD thy God.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven images.
Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house.

Included on the posters, the following context statement must be included:

The History of the Ten Commandments in American Public Education

The Ten Commandments were a prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries. Around the year 1688, The New England Primer became the first published American textbook and was the equivalent of a first grade reader. The New England Primer was used in public schools throughout the United States for more than one hundred fifty years to teach Americans to read and contained more than forty questions about the Ten Commandments.

The Ten Commandments were also included in public school textbooks published by educator William McGuffey, a noted university president and professor. A version of his famous McGuffey Readers was written in the early 1800s and became one of the most popular textbooks in the history of American education, selling more than one hundred million copies. Copies of the McGuffey Readers are still available today.

Landry said in a statement that the new law helps fulfill the Republican-dominated state’s “promise to bring drastic reform to our education system and bring common sense back to our classrooms.”

“A strong education system leads to a strong economy and a strong state,” he said. “Our historic Dream Big Package puts the focus back on our kids, and allows Louisiana to follow in the footsteps of our neighbors in the South. I am thankful to the legislature for their commitment to making the education system in Louisiana one that students, parents, and teachers can all be proud of.”

Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists released video footage through Al Jazeera that showed their terrorist attack on a major shipping vessel last week that is now at the bottom of the Red Sea.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement that the Houthis carried out the attack on the M/V Tutor — a Liberian flagged, Greek-owned and operated bulk cargo carrier — using an uncrewed surface vessel (USV) resulting in severe flooding and damage to the engine room.

Video showed the moment that the USV struck the rear of the ship last Wednesday, which was followed up with a secondary hit on the side of the vessel and what appeared to be a third strike at the rear of the ship, according to the video.

One crew member who went missing following the attack later died, according to National Security Council spokesman John Kirby. The rest of the crew was forced to abandon the ship and were rescued by the USS Philippine Sea (CG 58) and partner forces.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations said late Tuesday that debris and oil were seen at the ship’s last reported location and that “the vessel is believed to have sunk.”

A salvage company confirmed to Reuters that the ship has sunk because of damage it sustained in the attack.

The M/V Tutor is believed to be the second major shipping vessel that has been sunk by the Houthis over the past several months.

The day prior to the attack on the M/V Tutor, the Houthis hit the M/V Verbena — a Palauan-flagged, Ukrainian-owned, Polish-operated bulk cargo carrier — with two anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCM), causing damage and fires aboard the ship.

The Houthis have been emboldened by President Joe Biden’s refusal to hold them accountable for their terrorist attacks by launching the type of strikes needed to deter further aggression.
