In his ruling, Judge Garcia wrote that “it is impracticable, if not impossible, to prevent plaintiffs from being subjected to unwelcome religious displays” w/o stopping school districts from enforcing that #law.
The decision comes amid an ongoing battle over whether states can legally compel school districts to display the #TenCommandments. In June, a panel of judges on the US Court of Appeals for the #5thCircuit said a similar law in #Louisiana requiring postings was “plainly unconstitutional.”

The ruling from Judge Orlando L. Garcia, of U.S. District Court for the Western District of #Texas, comes after Gov. #GregAbbott signed in June a #law requiring school districts to display the #TenCommandments in a “conspicuous location” in each classroom. The ruling applies to 14 #PublicSchool districts, including ones in Fort Worth, Arlington & Conroe.
