So a U.S. Appeals Court has ruled that the Texas state government can join those in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Alabama in requiring public K–12 schools to display the Ten Commandments in all its classrooms. Attorney General Ken Paxton, a vocal supporter of the policy, called the decision a "major victory for Texas and our moral values" and averred that "the Ten Commandments have had a profound impact on our nation, and it's important that students learn from them every single day."
Alas, the policy comes too late for the 63-year-old Paxton, who is supported by President Donald Trump in his bid to be the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate and caught headlines last July when his wife of 38 years, state Sen. Angela Paxton, announced that she was filing "for divorce on biblical grounds." By which she meant her husband's alleged adultery, among the activities forbidden by the Ten Commandments.
