Texas will require all public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments under a new law that will make the state the nation's largest to attempt to impose such a mandate.

Gov. Greg Abbott announced Saturday that he signed the bill, which is expected to draw a legal challenge from critics who consider it an unconstitutional violation of the separation of church and state.

A similar law in Louisiana was blocked when a federal appeals court ruled Friday that it was unconstitutional. Arkansas also has a similar law that has been challenged in federal court.

Hooray I'm so fucking happy hot wheels did... exactly what I'd expect. I'm actually shocked it doesn't have something in the bill to hurt the poor or non-whites. Now to watch my tax dollars be wasted in a court room cause separation of church & state is super goddamn easy to understand if you're not a fascist.
