Judge deGravelles Rules Louisiana's Ten Commandments Classroom Law Unconstitutional
Nov 12, 2024, 03:31 PM
A federal judge has declared unconstitutional a Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom. U.S. District Judge John W. deGravelles ruled that the law is 'unconstitutional on its face' and violates the First Amendment's establishment and free exercise clauses. The judge stated that the law conflicts with U.S. Supreme Court precedent and that the plaintiffs are likely to win their case. He granted a preliminary injunction on Tuesday, temporarily blocking the law's implementation, which was scheduled to take effect by January 1. The ruling follows a lawsuit filed by a coalition of parents aiming to block the state law.
