The bill states that 'a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments' that is at least 16 inches wide and 20 inches tall needs to be displayed 'in a conspicuous place in each classroom.'
The Constitution of the United States enshrines the principle of the separation of church and state, but on Thursday, the Texas State Senate passed a bill mandating public schools to prominently display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
According to official documents, King introduced the bill after the Supreme Court sided with Joe Kennedy in the Kennedy v. Bremerton School District case.
