Breaking! Texas Ten Commandments Law Under Attack by National Legal Organizations

Austin, TX – July 2, 2025: Today the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other outside legal organizations filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Senate Bill 10, the Texas Ten Commandments Law signed by Governor Abbott. SB 10 requires every public classroom in Texas to display a copy of the Ten Commandments. Plaintiffs in the ACLU lawsuit argue that students will be “coerced” into observing “religious doctrine.”

Jonathan Covey, Director of Policy for Texas Values stated: 

“SB 10 is constitutionally sound and in line with established U.S. Supreme Court precedent. This lawsuit is yet another example of outside national groups trying to override the will of Texas citizens and their elected representatives. The significance of the Ten Commandments is undeniable in our nation’s laws and history, and we are confident the State of Texas is prepared to meet all challenges.”

Texas Values was one of the leading organizations working for the passage of SB 10, the Texas Ten Commandments legislation. 

Texas Values stands shoulder to shoulder with partner organizations such as First Liberty Institute prepared to defend SB 10 against any court challenges brought against it.
