Federal Judge Blocks Louisiana's Ten Commandments Law in Schools
A federal judge ruled Louisiana's Ten Commandments law unconstitutional, halting its implementation amid ongoing legal challenges by parents.
Overview
U.S. District Judge John W. deGravelles ruled Louisiana's law mandating Ten Commandments displays in public classrooms unconstitutional, citing overtly religious intent. The law is blocked pending appeal by the state, with the Attorney General insisting it is constitutional. The ruling prevents enforcement as a coalition of parents challenged the measure, which they argue violates the First Amendment. The law was signed in June and proposed to integrate religious texts into public education, reflecting a nationwide trend in Republican-led states.
