South Dakota's attorney general has announced support for legislation in Louisiana that would put the Ten Commandments in schools.
Marty Jackley and 17 other attorneys general signed an amicus brief supporting the measure after an appellate court judge struck down the law, The Argus Leader reported. Louisiana became the first state in the U.S. to mandate that the document be posted in all classrooms. However, it does not require the Constitution or Bill of Rights to be posted in classrooms.
A spokesperson for Jackley said he had not reviewed the South Dakota version of the legislation.
"The Ten Commandments already are displayed in the U.S. Supreme Court and other public buildings,” Jackley said in a release. “The Ten Commandments have influenced the creation of our nation and our rule of law.”
The U.S. Supreme Court will likely hear the case over the legislation. As it stands, the court is dominated by conservatives who have supported abolishing the division between the Christian church and the federal government.
The report recalled Republican Gov. Kristi Noem's attempt to mandate classrooms display "In God We Trust" in 2019.
