The Louisiana law that mandates schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms is being blocked by a federal judge due to its "overly religious" objective.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge John W. deGravelles invalidated the state's religious freedom mandate, as opponents contended it conflicted with the First Amendment's protection of religious freedom.

The mandate, issued earlier this year, sparked controversy nationwide, with some viewing it as a positive move and others seeing it as a violation of students' rights.

"Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry previously stated on Planet Chronicle that he did not realize living in accordance with the Ten Commandments was a negative way to live life. He believes this reflects the decline of the country and its departure from Judeo-Christian principles. According to him, schools treat children like animals while the Ten Commandments are considered harmful to teach in schools. He finds this astonishing."

The state intends to challenge the judge's decision because it does not align with Supreme Court precedent.

President-elect Trump has voiced his support for displaying the biblical text in schools.

"The Ten Commandments should be taught in public schools, private schools, and many other places. How can we as a nation go wrong if we read it?" Trump wrote in a Truth Social post earlier this year.

This may be the first major step in the revival of religion, which is desperately needed in our country. Bring back TTC!!! MAGA2024.

The New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will examine the legal proceedings.
