ACLU and Civil Liberties Groups Sue Louisiana Over Ten Commandments Law Enacted June 24
Jun 24, 2024, 07:30 PM
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and several other civil liberties groups have filed a lawsuit against Louisiana over a newly passed law that mandates the display of the Ten Commandments in all public school classrooms. The groups argue that the law is unconstitutional and violates the separation of church and state. The legal challenge comes shortly after the law was enacted on June 24, indicating a swift response from civil liberties advocates. Within hours of the law's passage, the ACLU announced their intent to file the lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed in Baton Rouge, seeks to overturn the legislation on the grounds that it infringes on religious freedom and promotes a specific religious doctrine in public education.
