Louisiana Ten Commandments Display Law Delayed

Louisiana's new law mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms faces legal challenges, leading to a court agreement that postpones the enforcement until at least November 15, 2024. The law requires the Ten Commandments to be displayed by January 1, 2025, with specific guidelines on poster size and content. Various advocacy groups and families from diverse religious backgrounds have filed lawsuits against the law, citing concerns about the separation of church and state. The delay in implementation allows for legal proceedings to unfold, with a hearing scheduled for September 30, impacting specific parishes like East Baton Rouge, Livingston, Orleans, St. Tammany, and Vernon. Despite the temporary halt in public enforcement, the January 2025 compliance deadline remains pending the court's decision.
