Texas is moving forward with the nation’s largest effort to require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms. The new law is sparking strong reactions from teachers, parents, and students—and is also facing some significant legal pushback.
The law requires schools to hang the Ten Commandments if the displays are donated and put “in a conspicuous place,” with text large enough to be easily read from anywhere in the classroom.
Some Texans have eagerly stepped in to provide the required posters. Lorne Liechty and his family donated them to the Rockwall Independent School District near Dallas. Liechty says he remembers growing up with the Ten Commandments posted in classrooms and with teachers starting the day in prayer.
“We’re not forcing anyone to follow any specific set of rules,” he said. “These are great guidelines for living—great historical guidelines for our nation and how we developed.”
