BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — The effort to display the Ten Commandments in Kern County schools is back — and it's stirring emotion, drawing legal pushback, and forcing the community to confront where religion and public education should meet.

A little over a year ago, Pastor Angelo Frazier first brought forward the idea of displaying the Ten Commandments in Kern County classrooms under the Superintendent’s Office. But the proposal never made it to a final vote.

Now, with a new school year underway, the debate is back — but with a different approach. This time, the topic came up as an informational item on the board meeting agenda — framed as a display of historical documents. That presentation included the Ten Commandments — alongside five other historical texts.
