FRANKFORT, Ky. (WMDJ) – Attorney General Russell Coleman has announced that Kentucky is leading a multistate coalition in support of Louisiana’s law related to Ten Commandments displays in public school classrooms.

General Coleman was joined by 17 other states in a filing before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

Earlier this year, Louisiana's legislature passed a bill requiring all public K-12 schools and state-funded universities to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms. In November, a federal district court judge blocked the law from taking effect.
