Fifth Circuit Clears Path for Louisiana Classroom Ten Commandments Display

A federal appeals court (the Fifth Circuit) lifted a preliminary injunction blocking Louisiana’s 2024 law that requires Ten Commandments posters in every public classroom and in colleges, allowing enforcement to proceed while the court noted the law’s constitutionality remains undecided since it never went into effect. The posters must be at least 11 by 14 inches and include a three‑paragraph note about the Commandments’ historical role in American education. The ruling does not affect Texas’ similar law. Dissenters warned the policy improperly elevates religion in public schools, while a concurring judge praised it as a tradition‑based expression of faith in the public square.
