LSU to post Ten Commandments in classrooms, president says

LSU President Wade Rousse said the university will comply with a state law that requires posting displays of the Ten Commandments in each classroom, but he is waiting for posters to be donated.

“Personally, I think shining a light on God is never a negative thing, but that’s just a personal statement of mine,” Rousse said. “We’re going to move as quickly as we need to to stay in compliance with the law.”

Louisiana lawmakers passed a law in 2024 requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in every K-12, college and university classroom at schools that accept state money. The law was mired in a legal battle until last week, when the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled it could go into effect.

Though the law requires the Ten Commandments to be posted in classrooms, it has no enforcement mechanism or penalties for schools or teachers that do not comply.
