A second lawsuit challenging Texas' Ten Commandments classroom requirement is heading to court as opponents challenge a new state law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. The Center Square contributor Bethany Blankley reports that Harris County residents have sued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the Texas Education Commissioner, arguing that Senate Bill 10 is unlawful. The law amended the Texas Education Code to require every public elementary and secondary school classroom to display a poster featuring the King James translation of the Ten Commandments, based on Exodus 20:2-17. The lawsuit raises broader questions about religion in public schools, constitutional rights, government mandates, and the role of state government in taxpayer-funded education. The case is scheduled for its first hearing Friday, adding another legal challenge to Texas' effort to require the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. #Texas #TenCommandments #TexasSchools #TexasPolitics #PublicSchools #Education #KenPaxton #Constitution #FirstAmendment #ReligiousFreedom #Taxpayers #Government #TexasNews #LegalChallenge #CenterSquare
