Texas 10 Commandments School Law Upheld, Setting Stage For Supreme Court

The defendants said in a joint statement that they were “extremely disappointed” with the decision

They said it went against the First Amendment and long-standing Supreme Court precedent. They said the decision hurts the separation of church and state and limits families’ freedom to choose how to teach their children about religion.

Even though The Center Square asked all of these groups for their thoughts, only the Freedom From Religion Foundation got back to them. Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-president of the foundation, spoke out against the decision, pointing out the court’s narrow margin of error and saying it was not in line with past decisions.
