Louisiana’s new law requiring schools to post the Ten Commandments violates the U.S. Constitution, parents say in a lawsuit that asks a federal court to permanently block the statute.

The new law, signed on June 18, requires schools to display the Ten Commandments in each classroom along with an accompanying “context statement.”
