SUMMARY: In 2024-2025, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas passed laws requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public schools, sparking legal challenges.

However, a 2022 Supreme Court shift toward a “history and tradition” test, favoring religious freedom, has encouraged states to push these laws.

The ongoing legal battles will influence the future balance of religion and public education in America.
