One new law requires that transgender students be addressed by the pronouns for the gender on their birth certificates, another allows public schools to employ chaplains, and a mandate to hung the Ten Commandments in every public classroom. This demonstrates a new willingness for Louisiana to go where other states have not.
Taken together, the measures have signaled the ambition of the governor and the Republican-led Legislature to create and interpret laws according to a specific conservative Christian worldview. Governor Landry, a Catholic, aims to lead this movement.
Christian conservatives in Louisiana see Governor Landry as a champion of their cause, consolidating their support. With Republicans dominating the State Legislature and now having a partner in the governor's office, the conservative Christian influence is growing stronger.
Under the leadership of Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, the Republican agenda was previously thwarted. However, with Gov. Landry, the Republicans have found a partner in advancing laws aligned with conservative Christian beliefs.
