“Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said he supports Louisiana’s new law mandating the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms and said he thinks the law will survive legal challenges,” The Hill reports.
Said Johnson: “I’m supportive of it, yeah. And I think it should pass court muster. I think there’s a number of states trying to look to do the same thing, and I don’t think it’s offensive in any way. I think it’s a positive thing.”
