Louisiana can force some schools to display Ten Commandments, appeals court rules

A federal appeals court has limited the scope of a lower court ruling that prohibited Louisiana from enforcing a new law that requires the placement of Ten Commandments displays in public school classrooms.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit issued an order last Friday allowing the law requiring the Decalogue displays to take effect in the school districts that do not have parents challenging the measure. The law is slated to take effect on New Year's Day.

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill celebrated the order, saying in a statement she looks forward to "immediately working with all of our school boards who are not involved in this lawsuit to implement the law soon!"
