A district judge ruled Wednesday that Texas can’t require posters of the Ten Commandments to go up in certain school districts where parents have challenged the move.
U.S. District Judge Fred Biery sided with a group of families fighting against a new law set to take effect Sept. 1 that would have put posters of the Ten Commandments in easily readable letters in every public school classroom in Texas.
“They just want to be left alone, neither proselytized nor ostracized, including what occurs to their children in government run schools,” the judge wrote in his decision.
While this lawsuit only affects 11 districts, another legal challenge to the law is working its way through the courts.
