A federal judge in Louisiana has ruled that a state law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in public classrooms is unconstitutional, arguing it violates the First Amendment. The judge issued a preliminary injunction, blocking the law that was set to take effect by January 1st. Opponents claim the law breaches the separation of church and state, while supporters argue it has historical significance. Louisiana's Attorney General plans to appeal the decision.
