Texas wants the Ten Commandments in every classroom. The Supreme Court might stop it.
Groups of families in Texas are taking a stand against a state law that forces biblical scripture into every public school classroom.
So, Texas has this law where every public classroom is essentially required to display the Ten Commandments. Because, apparently, math and history aren't enough to keep kids busy.
A bunch of families from over 20 school districts aren't having it. They've teamed up with the ACLU to take this to the Supreme Court. The parents are arguing that the government has no business deciding which version of religion gets prime real estate on the wall. It’s making kids feel like outsiders just because their own faith doesn't match the one the state is pushing.
The state's top lawyer, Ken Paxton, thinks it's a huge moral win. But the lawyers for the families are pointing out that the high court already shut down this exact idea back in 1980. Apparently, the separation of church and state is still a concept we are debating in the year 2026.
It turns out that if you force scripture on everyone, people actually start reading it—and then they realize the government is just ignoring the last time they were told not to do this.
