NEW ORLEANS — A federal appeals court in New Orleans on Friday temporarily limited the scope of a ruling that Louisiana’s law requiring public schools to post the Ten Commandments in all classrooms next year is unconstitutional.
State attorneys say deGravelles overstepped his authority when he ordered that all 72 local school boards be notified of his finding because only five districts are named as defendants in the lawsuit challenging the law. They are preparing appeal arguments against the entire ruling, but say that in the interim deGravelles’ order only affects five school systems — leaving the posting requirement in effect for the other 67.
The law specifies a version of the Ten Commandments must be posted in all Louisiana public classrooms from K-12 and at public universities by Jan. 1. It was passed by the Republican-dominated Legislature this year and signed by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry in June.
