TL;DR

A bill that would have required Texas public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom has failed to advance in the Republican-controlled Texas State House. The bill, authored by Republican state Sen. Phil King, was effectively killed after House lawmakers did not meet a midnight deadline for a vote that would have advanced the bill for a third and final passage. The legislation has faced criticism from the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, among others.
