Thank Judge for Defending Church-State Separation

We thank U.S. District Judge John W. deGravelles for his recent ruling that blocks the enforcement of Louisiana’s new law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public classrooms. By recognizing this law as unconstitutional, Judge deGravelles has protected the rights of students of all backgrounds and upheld the principle of separation of church and state.

In his ruling, Judge deGravelles highlighted the importance of maintaining a secular learning environment, ensuring that no student feels isolated due to their religious beliefs. This decision sends a strong message that public education should remain inclusive and free from religious coercion, honoring the First Amendment’s protections.

Sign our petition to thank Judge deGravelles for defending constitutional rights and preserving the integrity of our public schools. Together, let’s stand for a fair, inclusive education for all students!
