We Have Some Amazing News to Share!

We want to share some incredible victories from WallBuilders’ Pro-Family Legislative Network (PFLN). 

WallBuilders President Tim Barton was invited by Representative Dodie Horton and Senator Adam Bass to join them yesterday as Governor Jeff Landry signed HB 71 into law. This bill allows the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms!

Louisiana is the first state in the nation to pass this historic legislation since the Supreme Court rejected the “Lemon Test” and instituted the new “History and Traditions Test.” Don’t know what the Lemon Test and History and Traditions Test are? Learn more about it here.

David and Tim first testified in support of this bill when it was introduced in Texas last session. Tim testified in its support when it was introduced in Louisiana earlier this year. He showed the committee original artifacts proving the Ten Commandments' influence on America.

Through our Pro-Family Legislative Network, we have shared this legislation with legislators nationwide, including at our annual conference for state legislators last year. 

We are grateful for Rep. Horton's and Sen. Bass’s strong leadership on this bill to ensure the next generation is acquainted with the Ten Commandments, the foundation of America’s laws and so much of our country's history and traditions.

Another incredible victory for school students in Louisiana is HB 334, sponsored by Representative Beryl Amedee, also a WallBuilders’ PFLN member. This bill clarifies in state laws that chaplains are permitted in public schools. At a time when mental health challenges are on the rise, Chaplains can provide students and teachers with vital support. We celebrate this legislation becoming law thanks to Rep. Amedee’s leadership and Governor Landry’s signature! Louisiana joins Texas and Florida, which have passed similar legislation.

The third bill Governor Landry signed on Wednesday was HB 908, also sponsored by Representative Amedee. This bill prohibits discrimination against students based on their vaccination status—another strong protection for the students and families of Louisiana!

When you support WallBuilders’ Pro-Family Legislative Network and Conference, you help make these victories possible. Thank you! These laws will have a lasting impact on students in Louisiana for years to come. 

If you would like to be part of helping more Christian lawmakers and support the work of PFLN, we encourage you to prayerfully consider making a donation today. 

Donations we receive support our annual conference for state legislators and allow us to provide scholarships to deserving legislators who would otherwise be unable to attend. At this conference, we share essential briefings and bill drafts and give the legislators necessary encouragement and support for their sessions ahead. 

Thank you again for your support and your prayers. We praise God for these tremendous victories!
