A federal appeals court has vacated an earlier ruling against a Louisiana law that requires public schools to display a copy of the Ten Commandments.
In a brief per curiam opinion released Monday in the case of Darcy Roake et al v. Cade Brumley et al, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit vacated a ruling from earlier this year.
Additionally, the per curiam opinion agreed to hear an appeal in the case en banc, meaning oral arguments will be presented before the full appellate court rather than just a panel.
“Glad to see the Fifth Circuit is taking this en banc,” said Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, as quoted by WAFB 9. “Looking forward to those arguments in court.”
A coalition of progressive groups representing the plaintiffs in the case, which includes Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Freedom From Religion Foundation, released a joint statement in response to the opinion.
