Federal Appeals Court Allows Most Louisiana School Districts to Follow Ten Commandments Poster Law
A federal appeals court has temporarily allowed most Louisiana school districts to implement a law requiring Ten Commandments displays in classrooms.
A federal appeals court in New Orleans has temporarily narrowed the scope of a ruling that struck down a Louisiana law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms, allowing the law to be implemented in the vast majority of the state's school districts.
The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued an administrative stay on Nov. 15, temporarily halting a provision requiring state education officials to inform all 72 school districts that the law was invalidated. This means that the legal requirement to post the Ten Commandments in classrooms is now blocked in the five Louisiana school districts involved in the lawsuit and may be implemented in the remaining 67, pending appeal.
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill hailed the decision, which came in response to an emergency motion filed by state attorneys, who argued that U.S. District Judge John deGravelles exceeded his authority with his Nov. 12 ruling, which mandated statewide notification of the law's unconstitutionality.
"The Fifth Circuit grants our motion to BLOCK the district court's attempt to enjoin the Ten Commandments law statewide. I look forward to immediately working with all of our school boards who are not involved in this lawsuit to implement the law soon," Murrill said in a post on X.
State attorneys plan to appeal the entirety of deGravelles's order, which was still left intact for five school districts named in the lawsuit.
The law, enacted by Louisiana's Legislature and signed by Gov. Jeff Landry in June, requires a specific version of the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all K–12 public classrooms and at public universities by Jan. 1, 2025. It mandates that the Ten Commandments be displayed on an 11x14-inch poster or framed document in a large, readable font. It also requires a 200-word context statement highlighting their historical role in American public education.
The law was challenged in court, with the plaintiffs alleging in their complaint that the law violates their rights under the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
"The Ten Commandments displays required under state law will create an unwelcoming and oppressive school environment for children, like ours, who don't believe in the state's official version of scripture," Darcy Roake, a minister in the liberal religious movement Unitarian Universalism and a plaintiff in the case, said in a statement. "We believe that no child should feel excluded in public school because of their family's faith tradition, and we are optimistic that the court will grant our motion for a preliminary injunction."
In a Nov. 12 ruling that sided with the plaintiffs, deGravelles described the law as "overtly religious" and "unconstitutional on its face." He barred state Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley and the state education board from implementing it and directed them to notify all school boards of its unconstitutionality.

Trump Picks RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services
If confirmed, Kennedy will oversee the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, and other agencies.
President-elect Donald Trump on Nov. 14 said he is "thrilled to announce" Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), in a statement on social media.
"For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health," Trump wrote on X as part of his announcement.
"HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country."
The HHS, created in 1979, oversees 13 separate agencies. The most well-known are the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
On Oct. 25, Kennedy wrote on X: "FDA's war on public health is about to end. This includes its aggressive suppression of psychedelics, peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals and anything else that advances human health and can't be patented by Pharma.
"If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Preserve your records, and 2. Pack your bags."
The post requires Senate confirmation in a chamber that is projected to have a 53–47 Republican majority, come January 2025.
HHS is currently led by Secretary Xavier Becerra, formerly a member of the House of Representatives and California's attorney general.
Before the official announcement, when rumors circulated that Kennedy would be named HHS secretary, investors began selling off pharmaceutical stocks. In late trading on Nov. 14, the stock price of Moderna (Nasdaq: MRNA) dropped by 6 percent, while Novavax (Nasdaq: NVAX) and BioNTech (Nasdaq: BNTX) each fell by 7 percent and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) saw a 3 percent decline.
On Nov. 5, ahead of Trump's win over Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic National Committee condemned Kennedy for what it called his "anti-science, fringe public health stances."
Presidential Campaign
Kennedy, 70, launched his presidential campaign in April 2023 as a candidate in the Democratic primary. In October that year, he announced he would run as an independent, citing the Democratic National Committee's attempt to "rig" the primary and not allow competition against President Joe Biden.
Fighting chronic disease, improving children's health, and addressing corporate capture of government agencies were vital parts of Kennedy's campaign platform.
When Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign and backed Trump in August, he told The Epoch Times that it was a "heart-wrenching decision" and a necessary step toward achieving his mission of saving Americans from the chronic disease epidemic.
"I prayed to God every day for the past 19 years that America's health crisis would be solved for the next generation. That is a major reason why I ran for president," Kennedy said.
"President Trump wants to leave as his legacy healthy children and a healthier country. Those are deep interests we share."
On stage with Trump in August, Kennedy said, "If I'm given the chance to fix the chronic disease crisis and reform our food production, I promise that within two years, we will watch the chronic disease burden lift dramatically."
During a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Oct. 27, Trump proclaimed about Kennedy: "I'm going to let him go wild on health. I'm going to let him go wild on the food. I'm going to let him go wild on the medicines."
In his victory speech in the early hours of Nov. 6, Trump said Kennedy is "going to help make America healthy again."
"He's a great guy, and he really means that he wants to do some things, and we're going to let him go do it," Trump said.
Reform Ideas
In recent days, Kennedy has said he will eliminate the nutrition departments of the FDA because they are not protecting children, and recommended to Trump that pharmaceutical advertising on television be banned.
He told The Epoch Times in September that he would revamp the NIH to focus on what's causing autism, autoimmune diseases, and neurodevelopment diseases instead of developing drugs and serving as an incubator for pharmaceutical products.
A staunch advocate for regulating chemicals in food, Kennedy recently suggested that McDonald's should use tallow fat instead of seed oils to make its French fries healthier. He has chastised American food manufacturers for using ingredients like artificial dyes.
Kennedy has also said that if given the chance, he will dismiss the officials who lead those agencies and appoint replacements who will "turn them back into healing and public health agencies."
On Nov. 6, Kennedy said that the FDA should be trimmed.
"There are entire departments, like the nutrition department at the FDA ... that have to go—that are not doing their job. They're not protecting our kids," Kennedy told MSNBC.
Fighting "corporate capture of government agencies" and ending the chronic disease epidemic are related, Kennedy said on Sept. 30 at Rescue the Republic, a day-long rally that brought 6,500 supporters of the Make America Healthy Again movement to the National Mall in Washington.
"We enriched these corporations and their captive agencies. And now, they want to go and commoditize all of the things we value in our lives," Kennedy said.
He believes little will change until corporations stop controlling the FDA, CDC, and the Department of Agriculture.
"Their function is no longer to improve and protect the health of Americans," he told the rallygoers. "Their function is to advance the mercantile and commercial interests of the pharmaceutical industry that has transformed them and the food industry that has transformed them into sock puppets."
Children's Health Defense
Kennedy, who is the son of former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, is the founder of Children's Health Defense (CHD). The 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, according to its website, works to end childhood health epidemics by "eliminating toxic exposure."
The CHD website highlights potential problems linked to vaccines administered to children under the recommendation of the CDC. The organization questions whether that vaccine regimen is linked to widespread children's health problems.
"I can get the corruption out of the agencies. I've been doing it for 40 years [as an attorney]. I've sued all those agencies," Kennedy told The Epoch Times in September.
"I have a PhD in corporate corruption."
