US EditionTexas AG Ken Paxton Sues Galveston ISD over Refusal to Display Ten Commandments
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Galveston ISD for ignoring Senate Bill 10, which mandates displaying Ten Commandments posters in classrooms, despite ongoing legal challenges.
- On Friday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Galveston Independent School District for refusing to display donated Ten Commandments posters, Paxton said, `America is a Christian nation, and it is imperative`.
- State lawmakers earlier this year passed Senate Bill 10, effective Sept. 1, requiring a Ten Commandments copy at least 16 inches wide and 20 inches tall.
- U.S. District Judge Fred Biery ruled the law unconstitutional, blocking enforcement for 11 districts, and the American Civil Liberties Union sued for 15 nonreligious and multi-faith families.
- Paxton is asking a court for an injunction to force compliance, and Galveston ISD said it will evaluate the AG communication next week and consult legal counsel.
- The legal fight is likely to reach the U.S. Supreme Court as the law faces multiple lawsuits, with a Louisiana federal appeals court and Arkansas judges blocking similar measures; conservative advocacy groups and supporters of SB 10 claim the Ten Commandments teach American values.
