Judge Rules Louisiana's Ten Commandments School Law Unconstitutional Under First Amendment
Nov 12, 2024, 03:53 PM
A federal judge has blocked a Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms, ruling that it is unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge John W. deGravelles, an Obama appointee, granted a preliminary injunction on Tuesday, stating that the law is 'unconstitutional on its face' and violates the First Amendment's establishment and free exercise clauses. The case was brought by a coalition of parents, and the judge indicated that the plaintiffs are likely to win their case.
