RICHMOND — Virginia’s House of Delegates passed the bill that would allow school districts to display the Ten Commandments in their schools. The measure advanced to the Senate on a 52-46 vote.
House Bill No. 161, sponsored bv Delegate L. Scott Lingamfelter, R-Prince William, would give schools that right after the state determines the wording that would make the Ten Commandments secular. Besides the commandments, Lingamfelter’s bill requires that the Declaration of Independence and parts of the state and U.S. Constitution be posted.
Lingamfelter said displaying the four documents does not convey a religious purpose but does convey a historic one. The bill’s opponents called the bill unconstitutional.
