California school board rescinds Ten Commandments display
Val Verde Unified Board of Education reversed votes to post the Ten Commandments in district offices to avoid a lawsuit by the ACLU. The board unanimously overturned September and October decisions amid legal pressure and will not pursue the display at the next meeting. The ACLU represents several parents and cites a 1980 Supreme Court ruling on government endorsement of religion.
