New Orleans history teacher Christopher Dier is suing the state over a new law that requires public schools to post the Ten Commandments.
Dier says the law makes teachers complicit in promoting religion and conveying to students that some faiths are superior to others.
The lawsuit is the second legal challenge to Louisiana ’s new law and the first to be brought by a public school employee.
It comes as schools face a Jan. 1 deadline to display the biblical text in every classroom.
Dier is being represented by Arnold & Porter , a multinational law firm that has taken on pro bono cases defending liberal causes, including abortion access and transgender rights.
He says he joined the legal challenge on his own behalf, emphasizing that his school and the Orleans Parish School Board are not involved in the lawsuit.
