US Appeals Court Lifts Block on Louisiana Ten Commandments Law
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals lifted a block on a Louisiana law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms following a 12-6 vote.The court majority ruled that a decision on the constitutionality of the mandate was premature as it remains unclear how schools will implement the displays alongside historical documents like the Declaration of Independence.Donald Trump and Republican leaders support the measure while dissenting judges like
James L. Dennis and multi-faith families argue it violates the
First Amendment.
