A coalition of civil liberties groups — including Americans United for Separation of Church and State — pledged to sue if Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signs into law a bill mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in public-school classrooms.
The Texas House of Representatives voted May 25 to approve an amended version of the bill that requires the Texas Attorney General to defend school districts in any lawsuits sparked by the classroom Ten Commandments displays.
The Texas Senate agreed to the House version of the bill and voted March 28 to send the measure to the governor’s desk for signing.
