Court blocks Louisiana law requiring schools to post Ten Commandments in classrooms
- On Friday, a federal appeals court unanimously found Louisiana's mandate for Ten Commandments displays in public schools to be unconstitutional and unenforceable.
- Louisiana passed the GOP-drafted law in 2024 mandating poster-sized Ten Commandments displays in all public classrooms, but public school parents sued claiming it violates the First Amendment.
- The unanimous appeals panel based its decision on the 1980 Supreme Court ruling in Stone v. Graham, which invalidated a Kentucky statute requiring Ten Commandments displays in schools due to its religious intent and lack of a secular purpose.
- Heather Weaver of the ACLU emphasized that public education should be inclusive of students from all religious backgrounds, not functioning as religious institutions, while Louisiana’s Attorney General vowed to pursue additional legal challenges.
- The ruling upholds a prior injunction blocking the law’s enforcement and signals possible increased legal challenges as similar Ten Commandments laws advance in states like Texas and Arkansas.
