At least 3 school districts vote to display Ten Commandments allowed by new Tennessee law

Following a new GOP-backed law taking effect July 1, at least three public school districts approved displaying the Ten Commandments in their schools. The Washington County Board of Education most recently voted unanimously for the text’s display alongside excerpts from the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Critics argue the religious text violates the First Amendment, while proponents stated they are not worried about posting other foundational documents.
