“A Christian nation “ Just words on a wrapper, their hearts are far from the almighty sovereign God.Did you know that Trump has started a bank? World liberty financial.He didn’t start a church! It’s clear what he worships, The ten commandments are given to show that we are sinful and cannot keep the law and need a savior! The spirit gives life not the flesh or money.
“Congress shall make no law.” Congress is a branch of the federal government. The federal government is not the several states. It was clear at the time of adoption that 12 of the 13 states had established religions. The notion that equal protection under the law prohibits states from requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in schools is a progressive left turn that has exactly zero historic basis, only bad judicial overreach.
If the men and women who serve on the Supreme Court of the United States had the wisdom and courage to stand for the intent of our founders and to correctly apply the Constitution as amended to their judgments, the role of the federal government in our republic would be vastly smaller that it is today. This would be a good place to start.
After a federal appeals court upheld a Texas statute mandating the exhibition of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) petitioned the United States Supreme Court to examine the case on August 17. In April, the Texas statute was granted final approval by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
Senate Bill 10, for short, mandates that all public elementary and secondary schools in the state prominently display a framed copy of the Ten Commandments, or a readily legible poster of them, without any further commentary. Questions regarding religious freedom and prior Supreme Court rulings were highlighted by the 9-8 decision of the Fifth Circuit in Nathan v. Alamo Heights Independent School District. The case has the potential to be a landmark decision that changes the legal landscape for governments’ dealings with religion, should the justices accept to hear it.
According to the Fifth Circuit, the statute was in line with the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
The appeals court ruled that the Texas statute “looks nothing like a historical religious establishment” since it does not dictate the beliefs, practices, or personnel of places of worship. According to the court, it does not mandate that churches perform civic duties, tax the clergy, or penalize individuals who reject the Ten Commandments.
“This is the type of work that the early “establishments of religion” were engaged in. It stated that none of these are addressed by the Texas legislation.
Additionally, the Fifth Circuit ruled that the decision of Stone v. Graham, which invalidated a statute that was quite similar to the one at issue in the classroom, is no longer applicable.
A federal district court had previously blocked the Texas statute, citing concerns that it violates the free exercise clause (which forbids the government from infringing on worship and other activities) and the establishment clause (which forbids the government from favoring one religion over another). A subsequent circuit court decision upheld the statute. In addition to violating parents’ rights to guide their children’s religious upbringing, the district judge ruled that the displays would compel pupils.
A diverse collection of families representing many faiths and none filed the challenge in the district court. In their appeal, the families contend that the Fifth Circuit erred in its interpretation of Supreme Court precedent and that the Texas legislation infringes the Constitution by mandating religion on pupils.
“The question of whether a state may impose scripture on impressionable, captive-audience children—for nearly every hour of every school day, for up to thirteen years—implicates the most fundamental guaranties of the First Amendment and our Nation’s highest ideals,” the American Civil Liberties Union put it in a 314-page petition submitted to the nation’s highest court on Aug. 17.
According to Chloe Kempf, a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, who is representing the families, the Supreme Court “has rejected this kind of government-imposed religion before, and it should do so again.”
Students in Texas classrooms that display these posters are more likely to be victims of bullying, discrimination, and religious pressure. “It is the responsibility of families and faith communities, not politicians, to determine the role of religion in children’s lives, in accordance with our nation’s fundamental principle of separating church and state,” Kempf stated.
The Epoch Times contacted Ken Paxton’s office in Texas to obtain a statement. No response was rceived by the deadline for publishing. In Magnolia, Texas, on February 19, 2026, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton delivers a speech at a gathering. The Fifth Circuit verdict was hailed by Paxton in April as “a major victory for Texas and our moral values.”
He proudly stated, “My office was proud to defend SB 10 and successfully ensure that the Ten Commandments will be displayed in classrooms across Texas,” when answering the question. “Students should learn from the Ten Commandments every single day because of the profound impact they have had on our nation.”
The timing of the justices’ consideration of the petition is uncertain.
Lets see how the Supreme Court will rule, with the 10 commandments carved on the very wall behind where they sit to make their judgements! we have been and are a Christion nation, but we have strayed from God. we are the only people that can save this nation!
2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV
IF MY PEOPLE, WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Only Gods people can reach heaven with their prayers!!!
