Religion in public school classrooms

Congressional Insider- The Supreme Court is being asked to decide whether Texas can force every public-school classroom to post the Ten Commandments, reviving a church-state fight with national stakes.  Texas law orders a Ten Commandments display in every public-school classroom, with fixed size and text rules. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton told districts the mandate is lawful and must be followed. Families sued, and a federal judge later said classroom postings under the law violate the Establishment Clause. A divided appeals court ruling in Texas set up a likely Supreme Court review that could reset school-religion rules.
