Appeals Court Allows Louisiana Ten Commandments Law in Schools

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals lifted an injunction against a Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public classrooms.The 12-6 ruling allows the mandate supported by Liz Murrill to take effect as judges decided it was premature to weigh First Amendment concerns.This decision aligns with legislative efforts backed by Donald Trump despite a 1980 Supreme Court precedent and a dissent from James L. Dennis.
