Article mentions the Bill of Rights, and I haven't really looked at that since middle school, so I wanted to brush up.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Emphasis mine.

Definitely a very short passage and I'm no lawyer. I could see arguments for how this does not disallow a state to mandate a religious text be included somewhere.

However, I'm a staunch believer in the separation of Church and state so I'm leaning more towards the spirit of the law rather than the letter here - seems clear that religion of any kind should never be mandated

Also I cannot believe any state congressional time was wasted on such a pointless rule. I would be astounded if this had any measurable effects on any child beyond them remembering a few more of the commandments than their peers. But morally I imagine there will be no difference
