A federal appeals court upheld a Texas law requiring public schools across the state to display the Ten Commandments.

The ruling by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals came after Texas Republican-led legislature passed the law.

"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."

Excellent news. The 10 Commandments are one foundation stone of all Western society.
You don't have to be religious to see their significance in the history of Western Civilization.

I’m glad this is being done, although I am surprised the federal courts are supporting it. Maybe enough Trump appointed judges are now in place, and will begin showing their conservative influence from time to time.

Do the pagan Dems get the right to worship a golden calf?

Judge Boasberg, another LGBTQ+ Transgender-Enabling DEMOCRAT

AI Overview:

LGBTQ+ Health Care Discrimination (2020): Judge Boasberg blocked a Trump-era rule that would have removed nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ+ individuals in healthcare, specifically under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act. He cited the Supreme Court’s ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County, which held that discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity is a form of sex discrimination.

Transgender Youth Data Access (2026): In April 2026, Boasberg was weighing a request to block a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) demand for data on transgender procedures for minors. Medical groups argued the investigation was politically motivated and unconstitutional.

Boasberg was appointed in 2011 by President Barack Obama.
