Louisiana Ten Commandments in Classrooms Law Takes Effect

This scores as List A (Constitutional Damage) with A=28.2, B=19.4, D=+8.8. The separation of church and state driver scores maximum (5) as this directly mandates religious displays in government institutions, violating Establishment Clause precedent. Civil rights scores 4 for compelled religious exposure of students. Rule of law scores 3 as court approval creates precedent despite constitutional concerns. Policy change mechanism adds 1.3x modifier. Durability 1.2x (requires legislative reversal), precedent 1.2x (emboldens similar laws), reversibility 0.9x (appealable). Single-state scope reduces to 0.7x. B-score elevated by culture war outrage (8) and media appeal (7) but remains secondary. The intentionality is moderate (8/15) - clearly strategic culture war positioning but the constitutional violation is substantive regardless of intent.
