Arkansas replaces Ten Commandments monument at state capitol


— A Ten Commandments monument returned to Arkansas’ Capitol grounds on Thursday, less than one year after a man crashed his car into the original display. A 2015 law required the state to allow the privately funded monument on Capitol grounds. Last June, the original monument was outside of the state capitol less than 24 hours before it was demolished. Michael Tate Reed, the man accused of driving his car into it, apologized in 2015 for also destroying a Ten Commandments monument outside Oklahoma’s Capitol. Arkansas’ monument is a replica of a display at the Texas Capitol that was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2005.
