Statement Regarding Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal’s Decision Allowing Louisiana Ten Commandments Law
New Orleans, LA—Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a decision reversing a preliminary injunction against Louisiana’s Ten Commandments law. The following statement may be attributed to Kelly Shackelford, President, CEO, and Chief Counsel for First Liberty Institute:
We are pleased that the Fifth Circuit is allowing Louisiana’s statute that requires the posting of the Ten Commandments in schools to take effect. The Ten Commandments are part of the history and tradition of our country. Our victory at the Supreme Court in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District makes it clear that this kind of religious education is Constitutional. We echo Judge Ho’s words that our Founding Fathers believed the Constitution didn’t simply permit religious education, it presumed it would take place.
