Lawrence Hall
Dispatches for the Colonial Office
The Texas Sanhedrin
Sponsored by Sen. Phil King, a Republican from Weatherford, the bill requires every classroom to visibly display a poster [of The Ten Commandments] sized at least 16 by 20 inches. The poster can’t include any text other than the language laid out in the bill, and no other similar posters may be displayed.
-Ten Commandments in every classroom:
Texas bill nearing law | The Texas Tribune
Our legislature suppresses the
pilgrims’ way
They’ve established a government
church; we must obey
And from its edicts free
Texans dare not stray
(Though the lawmakers work on
the Sabbath day!)
