5th Circuit Court of Appeals upholds Texas law requiring Ten Commandments displays in public school classrooms
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled Tuesday that Texas Senate Bill 10, requiring public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments, does not violate the First Amendment's Establishment Clause or Free Exercise Clause. The ruling reverses a lower district court's judgment and affects approximately 25 school districts that had been blocked from posting the displays. The ACLU, representing the multifaith plaintiff families, said it anticipates appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court.
