The Texas Ten Commandments Law (S.B. 10) passed by the Texas Legislature earlier this year continues being actively implemented in many school districts despite continued legal attacks from outside-the-state, leftist organizations and their supporters. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AUSCS) sued 14 more school districts in a Texas federal district court recently in Cribbs Ringer v. Comal ISD. The lawsuit is asking the court for an injunction to require those school districts to remove Ten Commandments displays and stop hanging new displays.

This is the third lawsuit filed so far to stop the Texas Ten Commandments Law from being implemented. An earlier court decision in Rabbi Nathan v. Alamo Heights ISD is currently on appeal before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals after a district court judge ruled that 11 school districts were temporarily not required to post displays while the lawsuit is ongoing.

Despite these attacks, the Texas Attorney General’s office issued a formal legal advisory last week making it clear that all Texas public school districts, except for the 11 districts under federal court injunction, are required to display posters in accordance with state law.

Texas Values continues to help lead the rollout of S.B. 10 to uphold the historical and moral foundations of our laws as allowed by the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Kennedy v. Bremerton and other case law. So far, at least 4,751 schools have been adopted with Ten Commandments posters or displays.

You can buy posters to donate to your local Texas school district at www.RestoreAmericanSchools.com and you can read more about the Texas Ten Commandments Law and recent news developments at https://txvalues.org/ten-commandments-texas/

Even if you cannot drop off posters to schools, please consider making a donation to help us continue to expanding a culture of freedom in Texas! While adopting a school, please take a moment to mark "Texas Values" in the referral drop down menu.

Jonathan Covey, Director of Policy for Texas Values is interviewed by CBS News on the issue saying, "It's undeniable that concepts like prohibitions against theft, prohibitions against murder, and honoring your father and your mother, those ideas have shaped the foundations of a lot of legal codes, but especially those in the United States." 

The Women's Privacy Act panel discussion at Texas Faith Fest highlights how a mom and daughter experienced a violation of privacy and trust when a university forced Brooke to share an apartment, hotel room, and locker room with a man. Discussion was moderated by Mary Elizabeth Castle, Director of Government Relations for Texas Values with panel speakers Senator Mayes Middleton, author of the Texas Women's Privacy Law (SB 8), Brooke Slusser, Save Women’s Sports Leader & College Athlete from Texas, and Kim Slusser, Brooke Slusser's mother.

"I wanted to make sure that we had the strongest Women's Privacy Act in America...it's $125,000 per day penalty if you violate this." ~ Sen. Mayes Middleton

This Friday, Oct. 10, is Real Women’s Day (XX Day). Texas Values encourages you to post on social media your gratitude for the What is a Woman Bill, HB 229, and the Texas Women’s Privacy Act.

"After praying after every game twice a week…I ended up getting fired for that. We took it to the Supreme Court. We  lost 7 times in a row. Finally on the 8th time we ended up winning. With 1st Liberty institute, with you guys writing amicus briefs. Thank God that you guys were there…Texas Values was there. 

As Americans we've sat back in our lounge chairs and just complained on what’s on the news…we need to stand up for our amendments. If we don’t fight for them we'll end up losing them.

So what the enemy wanted to turn into something bad…God turned it into something incredible, and it is a revival, it is a freedom movement coming across America!" ~ Coach Joe Kennedy
