Say NO to Texas’s Unconstitutional School Ten Commandments Mandate!
Governor Abbott is poised to create a law that would require every single public school in Texas to display the Bible’s Ten Commandments.
This bill is egregious, forcing a single religion onto students in public schools in direct violation of the Constitution. It is a clear indoctrination and a glaring violation of students’ First Amendment rights, and civil liberties groups like the ACLU are sounding the alarm.
The Ten Commandments bill is just the latest in a growing Christian nationalist movement to break down the long-standing walls separating church and state. Similar bills have been introduced in states across the country, including one in Louisiana that was struck down as unconstitutional by a federal judge.
Public schools—not just in Texas but across the country—are a clear target of extremist politicians. Sign the petition to say NO to this dangerous bill becoming law.
Why is this important?
Public schools should be safe and welcoming for all students, regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, or religious background.
By forcing every public school in Texas to display the Ten Commandments, the Texas government is sending a loud and clear message to the many students who don’t practice Christianity: You don’t belong here.
This is all part of a coordinated conservative playbook to take control of our schools, undermine public education, and push an extreme Christian nationalist agenda nationwide. Sign the petition to fight back >>
