Louisiana’s plan to make all public school classrooms in the state post the Ten Commandments remains on hold under the latest ruling from a federal appeals court in New Orleans.

A federal appeals court on Wednesday declined to lift a hold on a Louisiana law requiring all public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments. The decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit means the state may not make posting the biblical directives mandatory while it appeals a lower court’s decision that called the law “unconstitutional on its face.

The expected First Amendment fallout over the state’s new law — after the governor said he couldn’t ‘wait to be sued’ over it — is fully underway.

Louisiana's plan to require all public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments remains on hold under an order by a federal appeals court in New Orleans.

A new Louisiana law that requires the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public classroom by Jan. 1 has been temporarily blocked after a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction.

Louisiana’s legislation, which applies to all public K-12 schools and state-funded university classrooms, requires the Ten Commandments to be displayed on a poster or framed document at least 11 inches by 14 inches (28 by 36 centimeters) where the text is the central focus and “printed in a large, easily readable font.”

A law to require all public school classrooms in Louisiana display the Ten Commandments won’t take effect until a court case plays out on whether the law is constitutional, a federal appellate court has ruled.

A Louisiana judge has put a pause on the state's plan to have the Ten Commandments posted in public school classrooms. CBS News reporter Kati Weis has more on that and details on a vote to include bible teachings in Texas' K-5 curriculum.
