Religion
Christian Century - A group of public school parents, including some clergy, have filed a
lawsuit against Louisiana’s new law mandating the display of the Ten
Commandments in public schools, arguing the statute unfairly privileges a
specific version of Christian scripture in addition to impinging on the
rights of the nonreligious and those of other faiths.The complaint—which
was filed June 24 by Americans United for the Separation of Church and
State, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, and offices of the
ACLU—singles out a bill signed into law last week that requires public
schools to post copies of the Ten Commandments in classrooms, paid for
by donations. Plaintiffs argue the law violates their First Amendment
right to religious freedom as well as the US Constitution’s prohibition
against establishing a state religion.
