Lawmakers approve plan to have schools display 10 Commandments

State senators in Texas have adopted, 17-12, a plan to have the Ten Commandments displayed in school classrooms.

The plan, Senate Bill 1515, explains, “a public elementary or secondary school shall display in a conspicuous place in each classroom of the school a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments.”

Sponsor state Sen. Phil King, a Republican, set up the plan to have the document at least 16 inches by 20 inches.

The plan now goes to the state House, and if the Republican-majority body adopts it, it would go to Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, for his signature.

It could take effect as early as Sept. 1

King, during a committee hearing on the plan, cited the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in Kennedy v. Bremerton as allowing the posting.

They are part of the American heritage, he said.

  1. What? I thought we had freedom of religion here. Are you sure maybe you don’t want to reconsider your comment?
