A federal judge has temporarily stopped Arkansas from enforcing a new state law that would have required public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms. This pause, which came after a lawsuit from a group of families with different religious beliefs, means the law cannot go into effect until the legal process is finished.
The law, officially called Act 573, was signed earlier this year by Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. According to Fox News, it requires that the Ten Commandments be displayed in a prominent place in every public school classroom and library.
