Islamic and Christian activists and ministers have launched a lawsuit against the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and multiple Dallas-area ISDs, arguing the unconstitutionality of a new state law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every classroom, two days after Gov. Greg Abbott signed it into law.
After barely scraping by through its contentious time in the 89th Legislative Session, Senate Bill (SB) 10 is under legal fire. The lawsuit names TEA Commissioner Mike Morath, the TEA, and the boards of trustees for Dallas, DeSoto, and Lancaster ISDs as the defendants.
