Raw Story: Appeals court deals blow to state seeking to force public schools to post Ten Commandments
Raw Story - Appeals court deals blow to state seeking to force public schools to post Ten Commandments

A federal appeals court has blocked Louisiana — for now — from forcing all public school classrooms to post the Ten Commandments.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the state's request to temporarily pause a federal judge's order as litigation continues, The Associated Press reported Wednesday. The appeals court's decision means the block will remain in effect until after the law's New Year's Day deadline to post the commandments.
Arguments are planned in the appeals court on Jan. 23.
Sam Grover, an attorney with the Freedom From Religion Foundation, told AP they're "pleased" that the appeals court left the lower court's injunction "fully intact."
“As the district court ruled, this law is unconstitutional on its face.”
