🚨 TEXAS’ TEN COMMANDMENTS LAW MAY BE HEADED TO THE SUPREME COURT.

More than two dozen Texas families — including religious and nonreligious families — have now asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the state law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public-school classrooms. (AP News⁠)

🚨And this case matters far beyond Texas.

Earlier this year, a deeply divided Fifth Circuit upheld Texas’ mandate, clearing the way for the state to require these religious displays in public schools. (American Civil Liberties Union⁠)

👉But there is already Supreme Court precedent directly on point.

In Stone v. Graham (1980), the Supreme Court struck down a Kentucky law requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in public-school classrooms. The Texas families are now asking the Court to decide whether that protection still means what it has meant for more than four decades. (AP News⁠)

👏🏻This was never about whether students are allowed to be Christian.

They are.

-Students can pray.
-Students can read the Bible.
-Students can talk about their faith.

The question is whether the GOVERNMENT gets to choose religious scripture and require public schools to put it on the classroom wall.

Those are two VERY different things.

Religious freedom protects Christians.
It also protects Jewish students, Muslim students, Hindu students, atheist students, agnostic students, and every other child sitting in that classroom.

Public schools belong to all of them.

And with similar Ten Commandments laws spreading to other states, what happens next could shape public education nationwide. (AP News⁠)

We’ll be watching this one very closely. 👀
