Appeals Court Rules Texas Can Display Ten Commandments in Public Schools

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 on Tuesday that Texas can require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms under SB10. The 120-page decision said the mandate does not impose on students' or parents' consciences and does not violate the Establishment Clause. The ACLU, which challenged the law along with families of diverse faiths, called the ruling contrary to First Amendment principles and Supreme Court precedent.
