Supreme Court asked to review Texas law requiring the Ten Commandments in public schools
Civil rights advocates have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to review a Texas law that mandates the display of the Ten Commandments in public schools. This request comes after an appeals court cleared the way for Texas' law and a similar one in Louisiana, as well as laws in Arkansas and Alabama. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other groups are challenging the law, arguing that it violates the First Amendment's separation of church and state.
The law, signed by Republican Governor Greg Abbott in September, requires that districts display the Ten Commandments only if they are donated. Over 2 dozen Texas families, represented by the ACLU and other organizations, are petitioning the Supreme Court to clarify that displaying scripture in public schools is a violation of the First Amendment.
