Texas Ten Commandments law upheld

Texas Ten Commandments law upheld

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit upheld Senate Bill 10, finding that it does not violate the Establishment Clause of the Constitution.

The 120-page ruling allows for donated posters of the religious text to be displayed in all public elementary and secondary schools across Texas.

Plaintiffs in the case have expressed disappointment and intend to ask the Supreme Court to reverse the decision.

This ruling sets the stage for a potential landmark showdown over the separation of church and state in American schools.
