In 2005, #SCOTUS held that such displays in a pair of #Kentucky courthouses violated the #Constitution. At the same time, the #court upheld a #TenCommandments marker on the grounds of the #Texas state Capitol in #Austin.

The mandate was signed into #law last June by #Republican #Louisiana Gov. #JeffLandry.
The court’s ruling backs an order issued last fall by US District Judge John deGravelles, who declared the mandate #unconstitutional & ordered state #education officials not to take steps to enforce it & to notify all local #school boards in the state of his decision.

#Court blocks #Louisiana #law requiring schools to post #TenCommandments in classrooms
A panel of 3 federal appellate judges has ruled that a Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in each #PublicSchool classroom is #unconstitutional.
The ruling marked a major win for #CivilRights groups who say the mandate violates the separation of #ChurchAndState, & that the poster-sized displays would isolate #students …who are not #Christian.
"The Observer found that, of 30 K-12 schools where partnerships have ended, 18 concluded their time under private control with failing state accountability ratings."
"In addition, The Observer found that 24 schools, including two preschools, did not meet their contractual academic goals in at least one of the last two years of their agreements."

…Casey was the most important case of the 1991-92 term, but there were other impressive Souter successes. He, Kennedy & O'Connor also came together, again joined by Blackmun & Stevens, in a crucial #EstablishmentClause case, Lee v. Weisman, where they struck down the recital of #religious prayers at #PublicSchool graduation ceremonies.

I couldn’t find data confirming the 1 million arrests. However, google’s AI generated assist did confirm the 1 million arrests, claiming Wikipedia & Arizona state university at its source. And, from the following Education Week Article, 70,000 students arrests just in the 2013-2014 school year, and these only included a small sampling of schools.

The US Supreme Court is weighing whether religious schools can receive public charter funding—potentially reshaping education laws and church-state boundaries nationwide.

Justice #ClarenceThomas pressed atty Gregory Garre on #Oklahoma’s position on the pivotal question at hand: that St. Isidore is a #PublicSchool, not a #private institution participating in a public program. Garre referenced the OK Supreme Court’s ruling that agreed.
“This court has a lot of authority, but I don’t think it has the authority to second guess [that],” Garre said.

A skeptical Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson asked whether #religious groups should be entitled to start #CharterSchools even though #Oklahoma charter #law seeks to establish only #secular #schools.
“As I see it, [St. Isidore] is not being denied a benefit that everyone else gets,” Jackson said. “It’s being denied a benefit that no one else gets, which is the ability to establish a religious #PublicSchool.”

The Texas House Public Education Committee was scheduled to meet on Tuesday to take up two high priority bills which would address school funding and the creation of a school voucher plan. But the meeting was canceled late Monday night.
