Louisiana Delays Ten Commandments Classroom Mandate Amid Legal Challenge

Federal judge postpones implementation as lawsuit over First Amendment violations proceeds.

Parents from multiple faith backgrounds sued, claiming the law violates religious freedom.
The state agreed not to post the commandments or issue related guidelines until November 15.
The law mandates posters in all public school classrooms by January 2025, pending court decisions.
Governor Jeff Landry argues the posters promote moral behavior and historical significance.
Similar laws in other states have faced and lost constitutional challenges in the past.
