Excerpt from :

...... Thus, the issue of religion in public forums like public schools is a different one. Obviously, teachers and students have a right to express themselves. In this case, however, the hanging of the Ten Commandments in every classroom without a corresponding curriculum and as mandated by law did not properly honor a country that professes no establishment of religion. These court cases have gone on to inspire similar rulings, such as those that took place in 2005 regarding the presence of the Ten Commandments outside of courthouses (Lane 2005). The fact that the Supreme Court ruled one monument unconstitutional while another was deemed constitutional suggests that judicial review is used properly in these cases, only used to require the removal of a religious item if that items presence defies the constitution
