Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Galveston Independent School District (“ISD”) after the school’s board voted to refuse to display copies of the Ten Commandments in classrooms, in violation of Texas law.
“America is a Christian nation, and it is imperative that we display the very values and timeless truths that have historically guided the success of our country,” said Paxton. “By refusing to follow the law, Galveston ISD chose to both blatantly ignore the Legislature and also ignore the legal and moral heritage of our nation.”
This suit follows a Galveston ISD board meeting. In that meeting, members voted to ignore the newly enacted law, Senate Bill 10. This law requires public schools to display the Ten Commandments.
In a legal advisory to all Texas public school districts, Attorney General Paxton affirmed the state’s commitment to full enforcement of SB 10 and the readiness of his office to support districts that comply.
Paxton further stated that, “There is no valid legal basis to prevent Texas schools from honoring a foundational framework of our laws, especially under the misconception that a ‘separation of church and state’ phrase appears in the Constitution. It does not.”
Paxton’s press release indicates his office is committed to upholding the legal, moral, and historical heritage of the United States. It states that he has ordered all school districts not affected by ongoing litigation to display the Ten Commandments in accordance with Texas law.

Could it be that Paxton is a descendent of the legendary Wyatt Earp?

Someone needs to remind the Galveston school district that the Ten Commandments are on display at the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, DC.
During my hitchhiking travels, I got dropped off in Grand Junction, Colorado. I was walking past the county courthouse and they had the Ten Commandments, the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution on display.

I am amazed: all that, and in Colorado, of all places. We are blessed to have such a legacy to display; it sure is worth our pursuit of happiness to honor the Creator in everything.
