Judge Asked To Block LA’s Ten Commandments Law

Law & Crime reports:

The families of Louisiana schoolchildren who sued to challenge a new law requiring that the Ten Commandments are displayed in every classroom are now asking a federal court to block the law before children return to school in August.

When Louisiana’s Republican governor, Jeff Landry, signed the law, he said it was a way of respecting Moses as “the original law giver.” When Landry was questioned about the legality of the requirement, he bragged, “I can’t wait to be sued.”

The plaintiff families, represented by the ACLU and multiple advocacy organizations, filed a motion for preliminary injunction Monday, asking the court to issue an emergency order blocking the law so that children returning to school in August are not subjected to “unavoidable, permanently displayed religious directives.”
