A U.S. appeals court has ruled that Texas can display the Ten Commandments in classrooms, potentially sparking a dispute at the Supreme Court.

A U.S. appeals court decided on Tuesday that Texas can request the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms, a victory for conservatives who want greater integration of religion in education. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the law does not violate the Establishment Clause or the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. This decision could lead to a dispute in the U.S. Supreme Court in the future. The law is part of a series of Republican initiatives, including from former President Donald Trump, to bring religion into public schools. Critics argue that this violates the separation of church and state, while supporters claim that the Ten Commandments are part of American history and the foundation of law. The Texas law went into effect on September 1, being the most extensive attempt in the country to display these commandments in public schools. Although some school districts have been prohibited from displaying them, many have managed to put them in classrooms through donations or by printing their own posters.
