NEW ORLEANS (Office of Louisiana Attorney General) – The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against the American Civil Liberties Union, allowing Louisiana public schools to immediately start posting displays of the Ten Commandments.
This comes only a month after the whole Fifth Circuit heard oral argument in the case.
“Don’t kill or steal shouldn’t be controversial. My office has issued clear guidance to our public schools on how to comply with the law, and we have created multiple examples of posters demonstrating how it can be applied constitutionally. Louisiana public schools should follow the law,” said Attorney General Liz Murrill on the ruling, issued on Feb. 20.
When the law went into effect in the beginning of 2025, Murrill issued guidance to all Louisiana public schools regarding compliance with the law. You can find that guidance here.
