Civil rights groups file lawsuit over Louisiana Ten Commandments law

• "No federal court has upheld any display of the Ten Commandments by a public school," the lawsuit said.

State of play: Nine Louisiana families of different faiths with children in public schools filed the lawsuit in federal court, with the support of the American Civil Liberties Union and other organizations.

• The plaintiffs are Jewish, Christian, Unitarian Universalist, and non-religious.

What they're saying: "Public schools are not Sunday schools," Alanah Odoms, executive director of the ACLU of Louisiana, said in a statement.

• "We must protect the individual right of students and families to choose their own faith or no faith at all."

Catch up quick: The law, signed by Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry on Wednesday, requires a Protestant translation of the Ten Commandments in all classrooms within schools that require public funding, including colleges and universities.

• Former President Trump, campaigning for the November election, endorsed the move.
• "This may be, in fact, the first major step in the revival of religion, which is desperately needed, in our country," he said on Truth Social.
