Texas Bill Mandating Ten Commandments Display in Schools Fails
TL;DR Summary
A Republican bill that would have required the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom in Texas failed to pass in the state's House of Representatives. Civil rights groups criticized the bill as an attack on religious freedom and the separation of church and state. This is not the first attempt by far-right Texas lawmakers to embed Christianity in public education, with recent bills allowing donated "In God We Trust" signs and religious chaplains to act as school counselors.
