Controversial Ten Commandments law for schools struck down in court

A federal appeals court on Friday struck down Louisiana's law requiring schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms, calling the law "facially unconstitutional."

The state law required state-funded K-12 and public universities to hang posters of the Ten Commandments. It is unclear how many school districts had begun to comply while the law was being challenged in the courts. The five school districts that sued to overturn the law were granted a temporary exemption during the litigation.
