Texas can require public schools to display Ten Commandments in classrooms, court rules - AP News
Overview
A federal appeals court ruled Texas may require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms, finding the displays do not violate the Constitution. The decision is a significant victory for conservatives seeking to increase religious expression in public education and forms part of a broader shift in Texas: state officials have also moved to require Bible stories in school reading lists. Together these developments may prompt further legal challenges and policy debates over the role of religion in public schools.
