Texas will require all public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments under a new law that will make the state the nation’s largest to attempt to impose such a mandate.

Gov. Greg Abbott announced Saturday that he signed the bill, which is expected to draw a legal challenge from critics who consider it an unconstitutional violation of the separation of church and state.

A similar law in Louisiana was blocked when a federal appeals court ruled Friday that it was unconstitutional. Arkansas also has a similar law that has been challenged in federal court.

    I’m calling on all Texas children everywhere to vandalize these commandments at every opportunity. Maybe you can’t or shouldn’t march during tense situations on the streets, but you can protest in the class room. Walkouts, sit ins, general malfeasance… Let’s see what this younger generation has.
