Texas Lt. Governor Vows to Pass Bill Requiring Ten Commandments in Public Schools

exas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, a Republican, vowed to re-introduce legislation requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in the state’s public schools after a prior failed effort in Texas and success in Louisiana, which just became the first state in the country to adopt such a mandate.

“Texas WOULD have been and SHOULD have been the first state in the nation to put the 10 Commandments back in our schools,” Mr. Patrick wrote in a post on X.

Mr. Patrick noted that the Texas Senate passed a bill to that effect (SB 1515) in the last session, but in the House, the measure was never brought to the floor for a vote.

“I will pass the 10 Commandments Bill again out of the Senate next session,” he pledged. “SB 1515 will bring back this historical tradition of recognizing America’s heritage, and remind students all across Texas of the importance of a fundamental foundation of American and Texas law: the Ten Commandments.”
