Virginia school board votes to remove Ten Commandments from school Jun 1st 2012, 00:16 ROANOKE, Va. –  The Giles County School Board has voted to remove a copy of the Ten Commandments from the wall of a school. The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia had sued on behalf of a student to remove the Ten Commandments from Narrows High School, saying it violates the First Amendment's protection against government endorsement of religion. A federal judge sent the case into mediation May 7. The Roanoke Times reports that the board voted unanimously Thursday to replace the display with a copy of a page from a history textbook that mentions the Ten Commandments in conjunction with American government and morality. It was unclear how that would affect the mediation. The school board voted 3-2 last June to approve the display. The lawsuit was filed three months later.
