Original concept:
Church vs State
In June 2024 the State of Louisiana passed into law a requirement that all public classrooms—from kindergarten to state-funded universities—display a poster-sized print of the Ten Commandments.
This poster meets the state requirements by setting the Commandments in an ultra legible sans serif typeface, while also teaching the essence of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution—the separation of church and state. U.S. citizens have individual liberty to worship (or to not worship) however they choose without government intervention—hence the poster cannot celebrate both religion and nation at the same time.
Under the new Louisiana law, state funds will not be used to implement the classroom poster mandate—instead schools are required to get the prints paid for through donations. I am personally donating prints of this design (Risograph printed on 11x17 paper) in an open edition to meet the needs of any Louisiana student, educator or resident.
Free prints are available to order now, free downloads will be available soon. Prints are also available for purchase to help support the donation campaign.
