Texas Families Petition Supreme Court to Challenge Ten Commandments Display Law in Public Schools

Texas Families Petition Supreme Court to Challenge Ten Commandments Display Law in Public Schools

More than two dozen Texas families have formally requested the Supreme Court to review a state law mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. This petition, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas and other advocacy groups, argues that a lower court ruling upholding the law infringes upon the religious freedom rights of public-school children and parents. The filing contends that the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals disregarded a 1980 Supreme Court decision that deemed a similar Kentucky statute unconstitutional. The families, representing diverse religious and nonreligious backgrounds across 22 school districts, assert that the Texas law violates both the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses of the First Amendment.
