Texas Mothers Sue to Remove Ten Commandments Displays From Classrooms

Three non-Christian Texas mothers filed suit this week seeking to block and remove the state-mandated displays of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. The suit argues the requirement puts the state behind a specific religious text and pressures children of other faiths. Texas officials say the displays are historical rather than devotional, the same argument that has succeeded and failed in different circuits over the past two years.
