Overview

• Plaintiffs backed by the ACLU argued Senate Bill 10 compels public schools to endorse a specific Protestant translation and breaches the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause.
• The Texas Attorney General’s Office maintained the display is a passive historical reference and noted the law contains no enforcement penalties for noncompliance.
• With the September 1 deadline looming, Texas Values has coordinated private donations through RestoreAmericanSchools.com to supply compliant 16-by-20-inch posters to over 11,000 schools.
• Some districts, including Frisco ISD, have already spent district funds on posters, prompting disputes over whether schools must rely exclusively on private donations.
• Judges may look to a Fifth Circuit ruling that blocked a similar Louisiana mandate in June 2025 as they consider a temporary injunction affecting defendant districts.
