Federal Appeals Court Upholds Texas Law Requiring Ten Commandments in Public Classrooms
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Texas can require public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom. This federal appeals court decision reverses a lower court ruling that had previously blocked the law. The court found that the requirement does not violate the First Amendment or the Establishment Clause. Multifaith families originally challenged the law. However, the appeals court upheld the state mandate in a 9-8 decision. This ruling reverses lower court rulings and allows the state to enforce the display of religious texts in public schools.
