Saturday, June 24th has been declared “LSU Baseball Day.” Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin made it official with a proclamation in honor of the Tigers baseball team making it to the championship round of the Men’s College World Series. After winning in extra innings last night, Ardoin says he wanted to formally honor the team.
Ardoin is also encouraging residents to dress in purple and gold to show their support.
Governor John Bel Edwards signed into law legislation that bans the use of the popular video-sharing app TikTok on government-issued devices and networks. Bill author Marksville Representative Daryl Deshotel says it’s a security issue and this policy has already been implemented by many agencies statewide.
And a bill to ban corporal punishment in public schools unless there is written consent from the parents has been signed into law. Metairie Representative Stephanie Hilferty says some lawmakers, however, wanted their schools to have the option to use corporal punishment or not in schools.
The new policy will go into effect in the upcoming school year.
