Federal Judge Halts Louisiana's Ten Commandments Classroom Law

A federal judge in Louisiana has temporarily blocked a state law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in public classrooms, citing it as unconstitutional due to its religious intent. The law, passed by the Republican-dominated legislature, was challenged for violating the First Amendment's separation of church and state. The judge's decision suggests that opponents of the law, who argue it imposes religious views on students, are likely to succeed in their lawsuit. Similar laws have faced legal challenges in other states.
