Nine Louisiana families have sued the state over a new law that orders every public school classroom to display a poster of the Ten Commandments.
The suit, filed in federal court on Monday, comes less than a week after Governor Jeff Landry ratified the Republican-backed measure.
It is expected to kick off a drawn-out legal battle that could reach the US Supreme Court.
The law is the first of its kind in the US, and governs all classrooms up to and including university.
