A Texas law requiring that public schools across the state must display the Ten Commandments was upheld by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Tuesday, according to Fox News. 

The ruling came after the Republican-led legislature passed the law in 2025.  

"This is one of the most important religious liberty victories for Texas in our glorious history," said Jonathan Saenz, president and attorney for Texas Values, which defended the law. "Texas continues to lead the nation in defending both religious liberty and constitutional truth."

"Today’s ruling confirms that our state can honor the moral heritage that undergirds our legal system without violating the First Amendment," he added. "This decision makes clear that acknowledging the historical foundations of our laws is not only permissible — it is fully consistent with the Constitution."
