Louisiana Ten Commandments posters cleared to move forward in schools by appeals court

TL;DR Summary
A 5th Circuit panel lifted a lower court injunction and cleared the way for Louisiana’s law mandating poster-sized Ten Commandments displays in public classrooms to take effect. The court said there isn’t enough factual detail yet to rule on constitutionality—such as how prominently the posters will appear or whether teachers will reference them—leaving the legal questions unresolved even as the policy moves forward. Dissenters warned the statute risks government endorsement of religion. Arkansas has a similar law being challenged, and Texas already implemented one.
