The AP reported yesterday that South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster has issued an opinion that H3159 awaiting the governor's signature is constitutional. The bill permits schools and local governments to post a Foundations of American Law and Government display comprised of 12 documents, including the Ten Commandments and the Lord's Prayer. (See prior posting.) The opinion says that the documents have an established place in teaching American constitutional history and civic virtue, and that their display would teach morality, ethics and integrity.
UPDATE: Late Wednesday, Gov. Mark Sanford signed the bill into law. (CBN News).
