Texas can require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms, a U.S. appeals court ruled Tuesday in a victory for conservatives who have long sought to incorporate more religion into schools.

The ruling sets up a potential clash at the U.S. Supreme Court over the issue in the future. Arkansas and Louisiana have passed similar laws, which have also been challenged in courts.

And Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed a similar law earlier this moth.

      Only the best for Texas…for Texans, not for children. Especially the imported children. Nothing like a good import.

    Maybe this will make children question the morality of right wing politicians more.

    Why has Trump broken all 10 commandments, for instance.

      That’s the way I want to see it, 10 commandments with examples of how federal and local politicians have violated them.

    I haven’t read the ruling, but heard that they’re allowing it to go forward because there’s no penalty for refusing. Not sure about that. Need to read up on it. I have a lot of coworkers who will not be participating.
