A federal court didn't agree with the RI school that the prayer mural was historical. He also said it was definitely Christian, and so disallowed. Article mentions 10 Commandments display in Texas as precedent, and what we have here is overall trend of giving Protestant history favor over Catholic history...perhaps?

It took a Roman Catholic lawsuit to remove Protestant Bibles from public schools, and here we have a state that is historically Catholic being delivered a ruling that should (but in practice doesn't) apply to states run by Protestants. This isn't an ordinary case of separation of church and state; it's a case where Protestant states operate as scofflaws with near impunity but the hammer comes down on an historically Roman Catholic state. Roman Catholicism is part of Rhode Island state history, is it not?
There's a a Jewish twist to a display of The Ten Commandments--it's not specifically Christian while being more specifically Jewish, so I guess that's what gives it a pass. Or does it?
