Louisiana Ten Commandments display faces a legal challenge
Civil liberties groups sue to block HB 71 requiring poster sized Ten Commandments in all public K-12 classrooms and state universities in Louisiana. Plaintiffs argue the mandate violates the First Amendment by establishing religion, while supporters cite historical significance and state governance. The suit seeks a court declaration and an injunction against posting the posters.
