A federal judge just ruled that a Texas law on displaying the Ten Commandments in classrooms is not constitutional.
U.S. District Judge Orlando L. Garcia ruled that Texas’s Senate Bill 10 is in violation of the Establishment Clause of the Constitution, which prevents the United States government from establishing or expressing favoritism toward a single religion. School districts in “Comal, Georgetown, Conroe, Flour Bluff, Fort Worth, Arlington, McKinney, Frisco, Northwest, Azle, Rockwall, Lovejoy, Mansfield and McAllen are affected by the ruling,” according to Fox News.
Lenee Bien-Willner, the plaintiff in the case, is relieved by Judge Garcia’s finding.
“I am relieved that as a result of today’s ruling, my children, who are among a small number of Jewish children at their schools, will no longer be continually subjected to religious displays. The government has no business interfering with parental decisions about matters of faith.”

The affected districts have been ordered to remove any display of the Commandments by December 1. Meanwhile, other districts that were named in the lawsuit are being encouraged to ignore the state law by the likes of “the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Texas, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the Freedom From Religion Foundation.”
“Today’s ruling is yet another affirmation of what Texans already know: The First Amendment guarantees families and faith communities – not the government – the right to instill religious beliefs in our children,” said ACLU staff attorney Chloe Kempf. “Our schools are for education, not evangelization. This ruling protects thousands of Texas students from ostracization, bullying, and state-mandated religious coercion. Every school district in Texas is now on notice that implementing S.B. 10 violates their students’ constitutional rights.”

Well, Paxton has appealed this rule.
Both Texas congressional houses voted to approve this AND our governor signed this into law.
It’s not going away.
The Muslims can cry all they want.
It’s going to stand.
Texas school kids will know what the Ten Commandments are.

Countersue the judge’s ruling with evidence that they are building the prayer rooms which means that they have to allow the ten words also because I am sure the islamic groups claimed religious freedom to get the rooms in the first place.

There’s a lost tradition of resist and nullify. If the judgement is unconstitutional, the schools don’t have to abide while appealing (if they choose to appeal).

I know some people working in one of these school districts and the teachers and administration celebrated this ruling. They were barely complying in the first place, putting the 10 commandment posters at ground level in a corner. Our schools are far left enclaves
