Louisiana is facing a lawsuit from parents after it passed a law to display the Ten Commandments in every state-funded school.

While the case is deliberated, five schools will not post the Ten Commandments until November 15, when a ruling is expected from the district court.

On June 19, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry signed a bill requiring all state-funded schools and universities to display the Ten Commandments and an explanation of their significance in every classroom by January 1, 2025. Shortly after, nine families sued, questioning the law’s constitutionality. One plaintiff claims that displaying the Ten Commandments pressures students into participating in a state-sponsored religion, creating an “oppressive school environment.” The defendants argue that the Ten Commandments have historical significance beyond religion and that students are not compelled to read the posters. Therefore, it is not a mandatory religious activity.

The plaintiffs use the Supreme Court case Stone v. Graham, which cited the Lemon test, to argue that the Ten Commandments could not be shown in schools. Because the Lemon test has since been overruled, the defendants claim the precedent should not be used to block Louisiana’s law. Louisiana’s Middle District Court has scheduled a hearing on September 30 under U.S. District Judge John deGravelles. The five schools attended by the plaintiffs’ children have agreed to not display the Ten Commandments until the court’s ruling on November 15. The state’s Board of Education also agreed to not “promulgate advice, rules or regulations regarding proper implementation” of the law until the ruling.
