Northside, North East, Lackland, and Alamo Heights ISD’s are all named in the lawsuit.
SAN ANTONIO — A federal hearing will resume this morning on whether to display the ten commandments in Texas schools.
Parents from several area districts are trying to block the law from taking effect on September first.
Governor Abbott signed the law in May, requiring every public school classroom to display a poster of the ten commandments.
Sixteen families from across the state argue that violates their first amendment rights.
Northside, North East, Lackland, and Alamo Heights ISD’s are all named in the lawsuit.
The federal hearing began Friday. The defense argued, all of American history has had the Ten Commandments embedded into it.
The judge in the case says he’ll wait to make a final decision after today’s hearing and he plans to have a ruling before the law goes into effect September 1.
A similar law in Louisiana was ruled unconstitutional, so we’ll be following Monday’s hearing and the outcome.
