Federal Judge Halts Louisiana's Ten Commandments Classroom Mandate

A federal judge has temporarily blocked a Louisiana law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms, citing it as unconstitutional under the First Amendment. The ruling is a victory for opponents who argue the law violates the separation of church and state. The state's attorney general plans to appeal the decision. The law, passed by a Republican-led legislature, is part of broader conservative efforts to integrate religion into public education.
