Louisiana Faces Legal Hurdles Over Mandated Ten Commandments Displays in Schools

Governor Landry and Attorney General Murrill defend the law amid constitutional challenges from civil rights groups and parents.

Louisiana law requires Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms by January 2025.
Civil rights groups argue the law violates the First Amendment's separation of church and state.
State officials presented sample posters featuring historical and modern figures to demonstrate constitutional compliance.
Attorney General Murrill has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, calling it premature.
Governor Landry suggests parents opposed to the displays should tell their children to ignore them.
