Statement from First Liberty Institute on Arkansas Judge’s Injunction to Stop the Posting of Ten Commandments
The Supreme Court has determined that privately funded, passive displays of the Ten Commandments are constitutional.
Little Rock, AR—Yesterday, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction, temporarily stopping the posting of the Ten Commandments in schools in four Arkansas school districts. The law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in Arkansas schools was signed into law earlier this year.
The following statement may be attributed to Erin Smith, Associate Counsel for First Liberty Institute:
We are extremely disappointed that Arkansas’s constitutional statute that requires the posting of the Ten Commandments in schools has been struck down by a federal judge. The Ten Commandments are part of the history and tradition of our country and placing them in schools is a great way to remind students of the foundations of American law. We hope that this decision and others like it will be corrected.
