U.S. District Judge John deGravelles ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments in classrooms is likely unconstitutional, ruling it infringes on students' rights.
Parents in Louisiana sued over the law, arguing it would impose religious indoctrination on their children in public schools, violating their rights to a secular education.
Gov. Jeff Landry justified the law's educational relevance but failed to provide significant rationale, attempting to align historical law with the commandments' display in classrooms.
The law's proponents argued that the Ten Commandments have historical significance; however, the court found that enforcing their display breaches the principle of separation of church and state.
