Texas is closer to putting the Ten Commandments in classrooms after a key vote
May 24, 2025
A push to put the Ten Commandments on display in all Texas public school classrooms is closer to reaching Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk. The proposal cleared a major hurdle Saturday by winning preliminary approval in the state’s Republican-controlled House. The measure will likely to draw a swift legal challenge from critics who consider it a constitutional violation of the separation of church and state. A federal court last year blocked a similar law in Louisiana. The Texas plan is expected to get a final vote in the house in the next few days. The governor has indicated he will sign it.
