A new Louisiana law mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in every public classroom by January 1 has hit a roadblock. A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction on Tuesday, deeming the law 'unconstitutional on its face' and likely to violate the First Amendment.
The ruling comes as a victory for opponents of the law who argue that it breaches the separation of church and state and could alienate non-Christian students. On the other hand, proponents claim that the measure holds historical significance to the foundation of US law and is not solely religious.
