LA FREEDOM CAUCUS CONDEMNS 5TH CIRCUIT COURT RULING AGAINST 67 LA SCHOOL DISTRICTS

BATON ROUGE—The Louisiana Freedom Caucus released the following statement on the decision by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to let stand the injunction against the January 1, 2025 implementation of the 10 Commandments law passed earlier this year by the state legislature.

“Only five of Louisiana’s 72 school districts filed a lawsuit against the state in an attempt to bar the implementation of a law that would require posting the 10 Commandments in school classrooms amid other materials,” said Beryl Amedée, Chairwoman of the Louisiana Freedom Caucus. “This decision disenfranchises the other 67 school districts.”   

“Given the amount of Marxist propaganda covering the walls in some of our public schools today, the legislature passed a law to give space to an historical document reminding our students of the Judeo-Christian principles that undergird the founding of our great nation,” Amedée continued. “We did not require the removal of any of the rainbow of indoctrination materials currently there but mandated space for the 10 Commandments to inform our students of vital elements of our American history.”
