State laws are putting the Ten Commandments in public schools
Court rulings are bolstering mandates to display the Ten Commandments in public schools in the U.S. as supporters push to expand the role of religion in classrooms.
The biggest push yet to put the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom began last year in Texas, where a challenge to the law was batted down Tuesday by a U.S. appeals court.
While the issue remains far from settled, the ruling was a victory for conservatives who reject arguments that the displays proselytize to students or trample the rights of parents, including families of other faiths.
