HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) – As Louisiana teachers prepare to put the Ten Commandments in their classrooms, state leaders in Alabama foresee a future where it could happen here too.

“I’m sure there will be at least one bill coming forward next session. Probably one in each chamber would be my guess,” said Republican State senator Sam Givhan of Madison County.

He said he isn’t sure if that should be a priority for the state.

Back in 2002, State Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore made national headlines when he displayed the Ten Commandments in the Alabama Judicial Building.

Moore and the monument were both removed after a federal court ruled it unconstitutional, but Givhan said things have changed since then.

“Apparently on that issue, there’s an existing junction. I think that case would have to be reopened to put it back in the Supreme Court building, and that would be up to the chief justice.”

House Minority Leader, Democrat Anthony Daniels of Huntsville, said he would strongly oppose a Louisiana style commandments bill for Alabama, calling it ridiculous.

“Unless the Ten Commandments are going to increase grade-point averages or the curriculum for math and reading and science and history for young people, I think it’s a complete waste of time,” he said.

Daniels agrees with Givhan, saying he expects some lawmakers to introduce the bill to score political points. But he said there are more important things to do.

“We should be focusing on paying our educators more money, making certain that we’re focusing on birth-to-pre-k programs with a curriculum so that children have access to it early on,” he said. “Until we pass legislation that helps families that’s there last best chance to bring life into this world of defining a fertilized embryo as not being a child, then I don’t want to have a conversation about it.”

The dust hasn’t settled on the situation in Louisiana just yet either.

Lawsuits are expected to challenge the new bill any day now.

Users on an online thread called out Alabama as “tone-deaf” and “entitled” for posting this content online.

“This is disgusting,” said one person.

“Here I am trying to provide for my family while drowning in student loans and there’s people without doing s**t just throwing away money”

“Wow kid, really showing everybody how mature and grown up you are,” mocked another.

“Revolting spoiled immature little brat,” commented a third user under thread.

But this is not the first time the influencer has caused a stir online.

In May, Alabama shared a heartfelt photo of her carrying her younger step-brother Rocky Thirteen, but people had concerns.

In the snap, Alabama was sporting a sharp set of silver nails that many social media users said could have harmed the baby.

“Those nails with exposed fragile baby skin makes me anxious!” one user commented under the post.

“Agreed poor little sugar prob getting knifed up with those acrylics,” another replied.

Travis Landon Barker, 48, is a musician who serves as the drummer for the famous rock band Blink-182.

Alabama’s mother, Shanna Lynn Moakler, 49, is an actress, model and beauty pageant titleholder.

She was the winner of the Miss New York USA pageant in 1995 and was the first runner-up at Miss USA 1995.
