Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Thursday an investigation into dozens of the state’s independent school districts to confirm compliance with two laws concerning religious displays and prayer periods.
The districts must adhere to two laws passed last year: Senate Bill 10, which requires display of the Ten Commandments in classrooms when donated copies within state specifications are provided, and Senate Bill 11, which calls on school boards to vote on creating time for prayer and reading of the Bible or other religious texts.
