Louisiana has asked the full United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit to reconsider a ruling that blocked the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. The law, signed in June 2024, was challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union and initially halted by a federal district court, with a three-judge panel upholding that decision. Louisiana argues that such displays are part of a longstanding tradition of recognizing religion's role in American public life, referencing historical examples and symbols. Oral arguments before the full court are set for January 20, with state officials, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, expressing strong support for the law.
