Sex ed: Louisiana has one of the nation’s highest rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. But it also doesn’t require schools to teach sex education. Andrea Gallo asks why in the latest segment of her series on the state’s infant mortality crisis. Order in the court: A well-known Jefferson Parish judge has been accused of cuss word-laced courtroom outbursts and violating judicial ethics rules, John Simerman reports. The judge has denied the allegations. Vegas, baby: The season’s young, but the Pelicans’ game tonight against the Lakers (yeah, those guys) is likely to have a playoff atmosphere.

John Bel Edwards mentioned a first-order-of-business task for incoming Gov. Jeff Landry. Thanks for reading Lunch Line. If you're not a subscriber to NOLA.com, here's our best offer for you.
