Louisiana officials unveiled several posters of the Ten Commandments on Monday that could soon be placed in state classrooms and which feature House Speaker Mike Johnson, the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.
The posters shown at Monday’s news conference are not the final options but instead represent potential ways for schools to follow the new law requiring all public school classrooms to put up a poster of the Ten Commandments, according to Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill.
One of the posters, titled “The House of Representatives and the Lawgivers,” features the text of the Ten Commandments in between an image of a stone carving of “Moses the Lawgiver” and a photo of House Speaker Mike Johnson, who represents Louisiana.
Another poster features a photo of Ginsburg, the liberal Supreme Court justice who died in 2020, as well as her quote praising the world’s “four great documents,” including the Ten Commandments, the Magna Carta, the English Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. The quote comes from an editorial she wrote for her school paper when she was 13 years old lauding the United Nations Charter.
