Nov. 19 (UPI) -- A federal judge in Texas has ordered state schools to take down displayed posters of the Ten Commandments in supposed violation of the U.S. Constitution.
Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton directed schools across the Lone Star State to display the Ten Commandments less than a week after a federal court ruled in favor of 11 school districts that fought against the religious exhibition in classrooms.
On Tuesday, federal Judge Orlando L. Garcia issued a preliminary injunction that instructed the state's districts to remove the display in violation of the Constitution's Establishment Clause in the First Amendment.
"It is impractical, if not impossible, to prevent plaintiffs from being subjected to unwelcome religious displays without enjoining defendants from enforcing Senate Bill 10 across their districts," he wrote.
