Louisiana’s plan to make all public school classrooms in the state post the Ten Commandments remains on hold under the latest ruling from a federal appeals court in New Orleans.

A law to require all public school classrooms in Louisiana display the Ten Commandments won’t take effect until a court case plays out on whether the law is constitutional, a federal appellate court has ruled.

The Fifth Circuit turned down Louisiana's request to begin enforcing its controversial "Ten Commandments Law" while the ACLU's lawsuit proceeds. The post Federal appeals court refuses to allow Louisiana to enforce Ten Commandments law — for now first appeared on Law & Crime.

Louisiana’s legislation, which applies to all public K-12 schools and state-funded university classrooms, requires the Ten Commandments to be displayed on a poster or framed document at least 11 inches by 14 inches (28 by 36 centimeters) where the text is the central focus and “printed in a large, easily readable font.”

A new Louisiana law that requires the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public classroom by Jan. 1 has been temporarily blocked after a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction.

The expected First Amendment fallout over the state’s new law — after the governor said he couldn’t ‘wait to be sued’ over it — is fully underway.

On Tuesday, a federal judge ruled that the law requiring classroom displays of the Ten Commandments by next year is unconstitutional.
