When it comes to the U.S., the Ten Commandments served a significant role in the formation of American law and justice in our nation’s founding.

In fact, according to David Barton, founder of WallBuilders, the Ten Commandments has been used hundreds of times to help resolve court cases throughout the last 250 years. It’s even on display at the United States Supreme Court.

Put simply, the Ten Commandments has a rich historical tradition of being referenced and displayed in the United States. And according to the Supreme Court ruling in our Bladensburg Cross victory, that’s all that’s needed to make its display constitutional.

Watch David Barton and First Liberty’s Erin Smith discuss the Ten Commandments’ place in U.S. history and explain the current legal challenges to posting the Ten Commandments in all Arkansas classrooms.

After the interview, stay tuned for the full press conference on the status of this case filmed live in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Right now, 24 states are either trying to pass or have passed legislation to place the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas have passed legislation but are now facing legal challenges to their laws.

And as First Liberty attorney Jeremy Dys said during the press conference, First Liberty is ready and able to assist in these cases as needed.
