Please join the Texas Law Review for a presentation on the article "New Judicial Federalism and the Establishment Clause: Classroom Ten Commandments as a Case Study in State Constitutional Protection" by Professor Caroline Mala Corbin of the University of Miami School of Law. Lunch will be served!
An excerpt (citations omitted): "The race is on to reintroduce Christianity into public schools. A new Louisiana law mandates that the Ten Commandments be posted in every public grade school, high school, and college classroom. Oklahoma’s Superintendent of Public Schools decreed that all public schools must incorporate the Bible into social studies and English classes starting in fifth grade. Texas’s Board of Education approved Biblical materials in kindergarten through fifth-grade lessons. Meanwhile, in a sign of things to come, parallel Ten Commandment laws have recently been proposed in at least fifteen states, with Arkansas and Texas already succeeding."
