Louisiana was sued on Monday over a new law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in all public school classrooms in the state.The complaint said displaying the Ten Commandments violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and "simply cannot be reconciled with the fundamental religious-freedom principles that animated the founding of our nation.
In signing the Louisiana law, Landry said displaying the Ten Commandments would help expand faith in public schools."If you want to respect the rule of law, you've got to start from the original law-giver, which was Moses," he said.The plaintiffs said the law violates the First Amendment's prohibition against state establishment of religion.
