Governor Jeff Landry had a hard time explaining to Fox News host Sandra Smith the point about how posting the Ten Commandments actually helps children learn in Louisiana schools, probably because it has nothing to do with education.

SMITH: But so for those listening right now, they're wondering, what's the goal? Because it's not as if this is going to be taught in every school and classroom. This is just being displayed on the walls.

So my question to you is, how is this going to improve the school environment and the performance of kids in those schools?

When Governor, I pull up the report cards of these public schools and Louisiana is struggling.

I mean, it is at the bottom of the country.

The education system is failing these kids.

I mean, Louisiana's 43, 44th in math and reading.

So is this going to help what is a very big problem in Louisiana?

What's the point? Separating church and state has been a bedrock of US democracy. Also, Christianity does not reflect the entirety of the US population.

Landry: We took up some of the things that many of those states like Florida have done, and we signed those into law.

We just believe that displaying historical documents, especially something that is as is important as the Ten Commandments, look, when the Supreme Court meets the doors of the Supreme Court on the backside, have the Ten Commandments.

Moses faces the U.S. Speaker of the House in the House chamber.

He is the original giver of law.

If we most of our laws in this country are founded on the Ten Commandments, what's the big problem, Sandra, that's the part that I don't understand.

Religion is for the home; education is for the schools. It's frakking simple.

The Christian nationalist movement demands their religion be more important than the US Constitution.
