In a blatant attack on constitutional standards on religious freedoms, Republicans in the Texas state Senate have passed a bill that would require teachers to post the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom.
via email, Steven Emmert, executive director of the Secular Coalition for America, said that the legislation was clearly unconstitutional.
“It is very unfortunate that many members of the Texas Legislature have never read the US Constitution, nor any history of our Founders’ beliefs in the separate roles for government and religion,” Emmert wrote. “This piece of legislation is in clear violation of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in. This requirement, the Court ruled, violates the establishment clause of the First Amendment.
