The Louisiana lawmaker behind the radical new law requiring that the Ten Commandments be displayed in public school classrooms across her state is no stranger to the culture wars.
State Rep. Dodie Horton, a Republican from Haughton, Louisiana, is also one of the prime movers behind her state’s bill prohibiting teachers from discussing gender identity or sexual orientation from kindergarten to 12th grade.
It’s now awaiting the signature of Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry. “I’m not concerned with an atheist. I’m not concerned with a Muslim,” Horton, who is a Southern Baptist, said. “I’m concerned with our children looking and seeing what God’s law is.”
