What happened
The American Civil Liberties UnionAmerican Civil Liberties UnionAmerican advocacy group and Texas families from 22 school districts asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to review Senate Bill 10, a 2025 Texas law requiring a Ten Commandments display in every public school classroom. The plaintiffs include families of multiple faiths and no faith challenging a mandate for elementary and secondary schools. The petition seeks review of an April 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that upheld the law. The challengers argue the state-selected text violates students’ and parents’ First Amendment rights.
