Parents and civil rights groups sue Louisiana to block ‘disturbing’ Ten Commandments law
A group of Louisiana families with children in public school are suing the state in federal court to block a new state law requiring every public school classroom to display the Ten Commandments.
The plaintiffs include parents from multi-faith backgrounds – including rabbis and pastors – represented by a coalition of civil rights groups arguing that the law violates long-standing Supreme Court precedent and First Amendment protections against the government from injecting religion into schools.
