Gov. Jeff Landry calls ruling by Louisiana judge -- who ordered LSU to reinstate a professor removed from class after using vulgarity to criticize Landry and Trump -- as "absurd". Landry says the ruling "disrespects" those "demanding a level of professionalism" in universities.

Governor Jeff Landry @LAGovJeffLandry

Ruling is absurd! It not only ignores the law and the facts, it disrespects the broad base of Louisiana citizens who are demanding a level of professionalism in our universities. The judge ignored the facts, the law, and the Constitution—but that is what we have come to expect

Despite new law, Louisiana AG says if doctors prescribe & send such pills to LA it's a crime. "Masking their identity on a prescription bottle will not protect them. We intend to protect women and their unborn children from this grossly negligent conduct which is also a crime."

A group of lawmakers in Louisiana are asking the NFL to ensure a "family-friendly" Super Bowl halftime show. They say several past "vulgar" performances included “lewd lyrics”, “groping” & “wardrobe malfunctions.” Kendrick Lamar is headlining this year's halftime show in NOLA.
