Former President Donald Trump recently led by example of what it means to be a good conservative person. Trump took to his personal social media platform, Truth Social, to support a controversial claim of religion being kept in schools. More specifically, displaying the Ten Commandments inside classrooms.

The former President has backed the debate-starting topic of placing the Ten Commandments in school classrooms and other public areas by stating that it is the “first step” in the revival of religion in America. Trump’s comments come days after Republican Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry signed a new law requiring the Ten Commandments be added into every public school classroom in the state of Louisiana. Trump praised the new law on his social media platform, stating that he loves the Commandments in both public and private schools, as well as other public places.

Former President Donald Trump told a group of evangelicals they “cannot afford to sit on the sidelines” of the 2024 election, imploring them at one point to “go and vote, Christians, please!”

 Trump also endorsed displaying the Ten Commandments in schools and elsewhere while speaking to a group of politically influential evangelical Christians in Washington on Saturday. He drew cheers as he invoked a new law signed in Louisiana this week that makes it the first state to require the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom.

“Has anyone read the ‘Thou shalt not steal’? I mean, has anybody read this incredible stuff? It’s just incredible.  They don’t want it to go up. It’s a crazy world” Trump said at the gathering of the Faith & Freedom Coalition.”

Trump, a day earlier, posted an endorsement of the new law on Truth Social, writing: “I LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER. READ IT — HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG???”

The new law signed by Governor Landry however has sparked controversy, as the topic of religion in schools itself has been highly controversial in regards to separating church and state. The American Civil Liberties Union and similar groups are planning to fight the new law in Louisiana. Governor Landry doubled down on his decision and defended his newly signed law by referencing the biblical narrative that Moses, the one that God handed the Commandments to, was the “original lawmaker”. It is possible that the fight over the law could result in a legal battle that lands in the hands of the Supreme Court, which has leaned towards the conservative side of politics in recent years due to three appointments by Trump during his time in office.
