A U.S. appeals court ruled on Tuesday that Texas can require public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms.
In a 9-8 decision, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Texas law requiring public elementary and secondary schools to display in each classroom a “durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments.”
The court ruled the law does not violate the separation of church and state, reversing two lower court decisions.
“This is a major victory for Texas and our moral values. My office was proud to defend SB 10 and successfully ensure that the Ten Commandments will be displayed in classrooms across Texas,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton commented.
“The Ten Commandments have had a profound impact on our nation, and it’s important that students learn from them every single day,” he added.
