A group of left-wing civil liberties organizations filed a federal lawsuit Monday challenging a new Louisiana law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.
The American Civil Liberties Union, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and the Freedom From Religion Foundation are behind the lawsuit, representing school students. The Ten Commandments law passed the Republican-controlled state legislature by a significant margin and was signed into law by Gov. Jeff Landry (R-LA) last week.
