A photograph highlighting a significant spelling error on a Supreme Court seal has once again gained widespread attention following an executive order signed by US President Donald Trump on March 20, 2025, which mandates the closure of the Education Department. This order signifies the dissolution of a 45-year-old institution and has generated surprise and controversy, particularly because Congress possesses the authority to eliminate such agencies, suggesting that the decision may encounter legal obstacles. Trump justified the action by asserting that it was overdue and urged for bipartisan backing.
The image went viral after a social media user, @covie_93, posted a picture from a Louisiana Bar Admissions ceremony. The blunder, which incorrectly spelled Louisiana as “Louisnana,” elicited amusement among many online. With over 4.5 million views, the photo ignited a flurry of jokes and disbelief, as users humorously commented on the error. A representative from the Louisiana Supreme Court acknowledged the mistake, clarifying that it resulted from the work of an external design entity and expressed regret for the distraction it caused during the event. They assured that measures are being implemented to avoid similar errors in the future.
