  • A federal appeals panel declared Louisiana’s law mandating Ten Commandments postings in public school classrooms unconstitutional.

  • The ruling represents a significant victory for civil liberties advocates concerned about church-state separation and student inclusion.

  • Louisiana intends to appeal the decision, potentially escalating the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

  • This verdict aligns with earlier rulings that prohibit compulsory religious displays in government settings.
  • This is a resounding victory for the separation of church and state and public education.
    — Heather L. Weaver, a senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, commented on the ruling.
