Impact 6/10
Senate Bill 10 requires every Texas public school classroom to display the Ten Commandments, affecting roughly 5.5 million students statewide. A federal judge blocked enforcement in a group of districts after finding a likely First Amendment violation, but the Fifth Circuit reversed that injunction 9 to 8 on April 21, 2026, upholding the law; challengers have said they will seek Supreme Court review. The bill was signed June 20, 2025 and took effect September 1, 2025.
