Court Maintains Block on Louisiana's Ten Commandments Classroom Law

A federal appeals court has upheld a block on a Louisiana law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms, citing it as unconstitutional and overtly religious. The law, signed by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry, is challenged by parents who argue it violates the First Amendment by promoting a specific religious view. Proponents claim the commandments have historical significance, but similar laws have been struck down in other states, including a 1980 Supreme Court ruling against a Kentucky law.
