According to court documents, a federal judge in San Antonio ruled that Senate Bill 10 (SB 10) likely violates a clause of the First Amendment and temporarily ordered 14 Texas Independent School Districts (ISDs) not to display the Ten Commandments in their classrooms.

The new law, which requires schools display the Ten Commandments in classrooms, took effect Sept. 1 and has faced a number of legal challenges.

A federal judge has ordered 14 Texas school districts to remove Ten Commandments displays from classrooms by Dec. 1.

Senate Bill 10, which requires public schools to display the biblical text in classrooms, has sparked multiple legal challenges from civil liberties groups.

A federal judge ruled Texas’ law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom unconstitutional. Judge Orlando Garcia found the law violated the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause and ordered affected districts to remove the displays by Dec. 1.

A federal judge in Texas has ordered state schools to take down displayed posters of the Ten Commandments in supposed violation of the U.S. Constitution.

A Round Rock parent’s attempt to donate a Ten Commandments poster has now escalated into a legal showdown. Texas AG Ken Paxton recently filed suit against Round Rock, Leander ISDs over SB 10.

A measure that includes the Ten Commandments in a list of “historical documents” was passed in the Ohio Senate on Wednesday. Ohio’s public schools will be required to display at least some of the documents on the list in each classroom of each school, according to Ohio Senate Bill 34. The bill passed 23-10 Wednesday evening.

Paxton filed a lawsuit against the Round Rock and Leander school districts in the 425th District Court of Williamson County for the districts' “open refusal to comply with” Texas' Senate Bill 10. The law is currently enjoined in a number of small school districts because of ongoing litigation.
