- Louisiana teacher asks Supreme Court to stop Ten Commandments displays in classrooms
A Louisiana teacher has filed a constitutional challenge asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review a state law that mandates Ten Commandments displays in all K-12 and college classrooms accepting state money. The requirement was set by an earlier court ruling and is currently being followed by officials like Attorney General Liz Murrill. This measure has since spread, with similar laws adopted in other states including Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, and Arkansas.
