District Judge Orders Galveston ISD to Display Ten Commandments Posters
The district must post donated Ten Commandments displays in classrooms within 10 days after a judge said Texas law requires compliance.
- On Thursday, a Galveston County judge ruled that Galveston Independent School District leaders must display donated Ten Commandments posters in classrooms within 10 days.
- Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the district last year for delaying the displays, citing SB10, a June 2025 state law requiring the "conspicuous" posting of the commandments.
- Under SB10, posters must measure at least 16 by 20 inches, a requirement that sparked litigation from parents and rabbis citing First Amendment religious freedom concerns.
- Despite disagreeing with the law, Galveston ISD School Board President Anthony Brown said the district will comply, while trustee Ann Masel argued the law "absolutely advocates one religion."
- Seeking Supreme Court review, Rabbi Mara Nathan and other plaintiffs argue that religious instruction belongs in private homes and faith communities rather than secular public schools.
