Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is pledging to pass a bill that would require public school and college classrooms to display the Ten Commandments, days after a similar Louisiana measure became law. In a social media post, Patrick criticized Texas state House Speaker Dade Phelan, a Republican, for killing a state Senate bill that would have required the display of the Ten Commandments in schools. On Thursday, he vowed to bring the measure back.
Texas WOULD have been and SHOULD have been the first state in the nation to put the 10 Commandments back in our schools,' Patrick wrote on X. 'But, SPEAKER Dade Phelan killed the bill by letting it languish in committee for a month assuring it would never have time for a vote on the floor.' This week, Louisiana became the first state to require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms.
