New Texas law will require Ten Commandments to be posted in every public school classroom

Texas will require all public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments under a new state law that will make the state the nation’s largest to attempt to impose such a mandate. The measure is expected to draw a legal challenge from critics who consider it an unconstitutional violation of the separation of church and state. Two other states, Louisiana and Arkansas, have similar laws. Louisiana’s is on hold as federal courts have ruled it unconstitutional. The Ten Commandments laws are among efforts in conservative-led states to insert religion into public schools.
