Texas Families Challenge Ten Commandments Display Law in Public Schools to Supreme Court
A group of Texas families with children in public schools has petitioned the Supreme Court to review the constitutionality of a 2025 state law, S.B. 10, which mandates the display of the Ten Commandments in every public elementary and secondary school classroom. The law specifies that the text must be drawn from the King James Bible. This challenge comes after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit upheld the law, asserting that the Supreme Court's 1980 ruling in Stone v. Graham, which found a similar Kentucky law unconstitutional, was effectively overruled by the 2022 Kennedy v. Bremerton School District decision. The families, representing various religious and nonreligious backgrounds, argue that the 5th Circuit's interpretation "flouted this Court’s binding precedents and gutted the religious-freedom rights of public-school children and parents," and that only the Supreme Court can overturn its own decisions.
