Three Houston mothers have filed a lawsuit seeking to block a Texas law that mandates displays of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.
The suit, filed Thursday in Harris County, targets Senate Bill 10, a state law requiring all public elementary and secondary schools to display donated posters of the King James Version of the Ten Commandments. Under the law, the posters must be framed or durable, measure at least 16 by 20 inches and be clearly visible inside every classroom.
