The Texas Attorney General has ordered public schools to comply with a new law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom.
It follows a federal court ruling last week that temporarily blocked the enforcement of Senate Bill 10 (SB 10) in 11 independent school districts (ISDs) across the Lone State state.
“Schools not enjoined by ongoing litigation must abide by [SB 10] and display theTen Commandments,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a directive issued on 24 August, reports the Catholic News Agency (CNA). A state attorney general is the chief legal officer and chief law enforcement officer for a respective US state.
