Arkansas has installed the Ten Commandments at its Capitol – By Matthew Rozsa / June 27 2017
A 6 -foot-tall Ten Commandments monument has been installed outside of the Arkansas Capitol, according to a report by the Associated Press. This is in the aftermath of a law passed in 2015 which gave the state permission to erect this monument to Judeo-Christian theology on government property.
In response to news that the privately-funded monument would be placed in front of the Capitol, the Satanic Temple began to push to erect a statue of the goat-headed deity Baphomet there as well, according to a report by Fox 59. That effort was thwarted when the Arkansas legislature enacted a law requiring legislative approval before the state commission can consider a monument proposal.
When the Arkansas legislature officially cleared the way for the monument’s installation last month, Republican Sen. Jason Rapert said “this is part of who we are, it’s history. So in Arkansas, we did not have anything that spoke to that and this gives us that opportunity to have that,” according to a report by US News & World Report.
