A measure that includes the Ten Commandments in a list of “historical documents” was passed in the Ohio Senate on Wednesday. Ohio’s public schools will be required to display at least some of the documents on the list in each classroom of each school, according to Ohio Senate Bill 34. The bill passed 23-10 Wednesday evening.
All but one of the Senate Republicans voted to move the bill forward to the Ohio House. The Ohio Senate has passed a bill that opens the door for public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms and erect monuments to them on public school grounds.
Galveston ISD says it is not reversing its decision to keep Ten Commandments posters out of classrooms, even though the Texas Attorney General has filed a lawsuit. The state sued the district for not following a new law that requires the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public classroom.
