Texas will require all public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments under a new law that will make the state the nation’s largest to attempt to impose such a mandate.

The bill, which was signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott, is expected to draw a legal challenge from critics who consider it an unconstitutional violation of the separation of church and state.

A similar law in Louisiana was blocked when a federal appeals court ruled Friday that it was unconstitutional. Arkansas also has a similar law that has been challenged in federal court.

The Texas measure easily passed in the Republican-controlled state House and Senate in the legislative session that ended on 2 June.

A recent law like this was struck down in Louisiana, so I’m sure this will last for all of 10 seconds.

And that's exactly why he waited to sign until now. It's all theatrics. Gregg Abbott is a clown. He's just pandering to the Christian Nationalists in the state.

The bill has already been signed into law, but what I’m saying is that there’s already federal precedent surrounding this specific issue in a different state and that identical law was struck down, so this will probably meet the same fate as soon as it’s challenged in court (and groups like the ACLU likely already had suits drafted prior to it being signed, so it’s only a matter of time).

As a Christian I’m 100% against this. Forcing beliefs on people, especially children isn’t it.
