Texas lawmakers approved a bill on Saturday that would require every public school classroom to hang a 16-by-20-inch poster of the Ten Commandments; the final vote will go to Governor Greg Abbott for signing if it passes soon.
Some critics say the measure could lead to a legal fight over church and state rules.
Texas lawmakers spent over two hours debating before passing Senate Bill 10 on Saturday that would require every public school classroom to display the Ten Commandments — the bill passed 88 to 49 despite opposition and a rejection to allow school boards a vote on adding other religious texts.
