More good news!#Court blocks #Louisiana #law requiring schools to post #TenCommandments in classroomsA panel of 3 federal appellate judges has ruled that a Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in each #PublicSchool classroom is #unconstitutional. The ruling marked a major win for #CivilRights groups who say the mandate violates the separation of #ChurchAndState, & that the poster-sized displays would isolate #students …who are not #Christian. https://apnews.com/article/louisiana-ten-commandments-schools-federal-court-80d31b705fccbbbe3eeeb3cda5f64ec3?utm_source=onesignal&utm_medium=push&utm_campaign=2025-06-20-Breaking+News

The mandate has been touted by #Republicans, including #Trump, & marks one of the latest pushes by #conservatives to incorporate #religion into classrooms.The ultra conservative #5thCircuit Court of Appeals’ order stems from a lawsuit filed last year by #parents of #Louisiana school #children from various #religious backgrounds, who said the #law violates #FirstAmendment language guaranteeing religious liberty & forbidding government establishment of religion.#Constitution #ChurchAndState

The mandate was signed into #law last June by #Republican #Louisiana Gov. #JeffLandry.The court’s ruling backs an order issued last fall by US District Judge John deGravelles, who declared the mandate #unconstitutional & ordered state #education officials not to take steps to enforce it & to notify all local #school boards in the state of his decision. #Constitution #ChurchAndState #Christian #Evangelism #NewApostolicReformation #TenCommandments #PublicSchool

#Law experts have long said they expect the #Louisiana case to make its way to the #SCOTUS, testing the #conservative #court on the issue of #religion & #government.In 1980, the #SupremeCourt ruled that a similar #Kentucky law violated the #EstablishmentClause of the US #Constitution, which says #Congress can “make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” The high court found that the law had no secular purpose but served a plainly #religious purpose.#ChurchAndState #Evangelism

In 2005, #SCOTUS held that such displays in a pair of #Kentucky courthouses violated the #Constitution. At the same time, the #court upheld a #TenCommandments marker on the grounds of the #Texas state Capitol in #Austin.#Louisiana #law #ChurchAndState #Christian #Evangelism #NewApostolicReformation #education #PublicSchool #Trump

@Nonilex maybe they could limit it to "Thou shalt not kill". That would prevent all school shootings, wouldn't it?

@Nonilex Now can we get religious references off of our currency and out of our Pledge of Allegiance...
