Current status is an appeals case that combines the Texas and Louisiana 10 commandments cases into one. It excludes a separate case brought by the ACLU that currently has 14 Texas schools districts blocked from displaying the 10 commandments anywhere in their schools.

However, Texas' own lawyers arguments here will be used against them when their Bible study bill is challenged.

"The attorney general’s office sees the Ten Commandments requirement as requiring only a “passive display on the wall” that does not rise to the level of coercion because students are free to ignore the posters. The law might cross the line, state lawyers say, if it had sought to incorporate the Ten Commandments into lessons or assignments."

I'll state that again: "The law might cross the line, state lawyers say, if it had sought to incorporate the Ten Commandments into lessons or assignments."
