1:02Now PlayingLouisiana’s largest school district is hanging up posters of the Ten Commandments before the school year starts next week.
The Fifth Circuit allowed Louisiana’s law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom to take effect in February, ruling a lawsuit filed by families and civil rights groups was premature because the posters hadn’t been displayed yet.
Some districts hung them right away, but others waited, including Jefferson Parish, a New Orleans suburb that enrolls more than 45,000 students. In July, the district’s chief legal counsel told principals to install donated posters before teachers returned to campus.
A spokesperson for the ACLU of Louisiana said they plan to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to decide if the state’s law and a similar one in Texas violate the First Amendment.
