NO ROOM FOR COMMANDMENTS

Leitchfield County, Kentucky must remove the Ten Commandments from a display called Foundations of American Law and Government. A federal judge says its an endorsement of religion. A local pastor put up the display a few years ago and included a number of items including the Preamble to the Kentucky Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Mayflower Compact, and the Declaration of Independence. The decision will likely be appealed because similar displays have been upheld by higher courts. Leitchfield is located just southwest of Louisville.
