The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that public displays of the Ten Commandments are not allowed in government courthouses unless they’re religiously neutral, but are permissible outside public buildings.

But in a separate decision, the court found a monument of the Decalogue outside the Texas statehouse permissible.
