Judge blocks Louisiana from requiring schools to display Ten Commandments
Posted on 11/12/2024
A federal judge has temporarily blocked a Louisiana law that would require every public school classroom in the state to display the Ten Commandments, calling the law “unconstitutional in all applications.”
U.S. District Judge John deGravelles issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday barring the state from enforcing the law, which had ordered schools to comply by Jan. 1. DeGravelles wrote that the law was “coercive,” unconstitutionally pressuring students to observe or venerate a scripture from a religion favored by the state.
