WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — A group of parents in Texas asked the United States (US) Supreme Court on Monday to block a state law that requires the Bible’s Ten Commandments to be displayed in public schools.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other groups joined the parents of diverse faiths with children in Texas public schools in asking the top court to hear the case.
“The US Supreme Court has rejected this kind of government-imposed religion before, and it should do so again,” Chloe Kempf, an attorney at the ACLU of Texas, said in a statement.
