Texas will require public school classrooms to display Ten Commandments under bill signed by governor

(The Texas Tribune) -- Come September, every public school classroom will be required to display the Ten Commandments — part of a larger push in Texas and beyond to increase the role of religion in schools.

On Saturday, Gov. Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 10,despite a federal court ruling that a similar Louisiana law violated a constitutionally required separation of church and state. In May, the proposal passed the Senate 28-3.

The bill preliminarily passed the House 88-49 on the Jewish Sabbath day.
