Texas Republican Vows to Pass Bill Mandating Ten Commandments in Public Schools

A prominent Texas Republican, Dan Patrick, has announced his intention to introduce a bill similar to one in Louisiana that would require public schools to display the Ten Commandments. Patrick, who serves as the lieutenant governor of Texas, plans to introduce Bill 1515 in the next session of the state senate, which he presides over. This bill would mandate the display of the biblical commandments in all classrooms across the state. Patrick's proposal is part of a broader effort to promote religious values in public schools.
