SD Attorney General #MartyJackley signals support for #TenCommandments displays in schools
Story by Morgan Matzen, January 13, 2025
"South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley announced Monday he supports a Louisiana law that’s similar to a proposed South Dakota bill to require the display and curricular inclusion of the Ten Commandments in schools.
"Jackley, and 17 other attorneys general, signed an amicus brief showing support for the law requiring all K-12 schools and state universities display the Ten Commandments in classrooms. A federal district court has blocked the law from taking effect after the Louisiana Legislature and governor signed the law. The attorneys general filed their brief in late December.
"Jackley’s spokesman Tony Mangan said while Jackley supports the concept of the Ten Commandments display in public schools for the releases mentioned in the release, he hasn’t yet reviewed South Dakota's version of the bill.
[...]
"This isn’t the first time religion has attempted to touch the schools through politics in South Dakota. In 2019, Gov. #KristiNoem successfully lobbied for the national motto, 'In God We Trust,' to be displayed in all public schools, sparking a national debate."
