LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Opponents of a Ten Commandments display at the Arkansas state Capitol filed federal lawsuits Wednesday to have the monument removed, arguing it’s an unconstitutional endorsement of religion by government
Separate complaints were filed challenging the display, which was installed on the Capitol grounds last month. A 2015 law required the state to allow the privately funded monument. The monument was reinstalled last month after the original version was destroyed by a man who crashed his car into it.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas sued on behalf of four Arkansas residents – three who identify themselves as agnostics and one as atheist – who are members of a walking and cycling club.
