KYLE, Texas (KXAN) The Ten Commandments have been posted in schools throughout the Hays Consolidated School District after receiving more than 2,500 posters from a Christian nonprofit group. With the enactment of Senate Bill 10, school districts must accept and display any privately donated posters featuring the religious text.

Not all Texas school districts are mandated to adhere to this new law at present. U.S. District Judge Fred Biery issued a temporary block on the law due to a lawsuit filed by several families, arguing that SB 10 violated the First Amendment by endorsing a specific religious perspective.

This order affects only the 11 districts involved in the lawsuit, including Austin ISD, Lake Travis ISD, and Dripping Springs ISD. Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that his office had appealed the injunction and instructed all districts not covered by the ruling to adhere to the law.

Hays CISD officials informed affiliate KXAN that the posters were a gift from Fort Worth-based Christian nonprofit My Faith Votes. The organization’s website expresses a vision to “see God honored in the public square.”

“[My Faith Votes] asked the number of classrooms we had. We informed them that there are 2,539 classrooms, so they donated 2,550 posters of the Ten Commandments,” stated Tim Savoy, Chief Communications Officer for Hays CISD.

My Faith Votes did not respond to KXAN’s request for an interview or questions regarding whether it provided posters to other Texas school districts. The main author of the bill, Texas Sen. Phil King, R-Arlington, was also unavailable for comment.

In a letter to parents, the district told parents it would not defy state law and planned to approach the mandate as a “learning opportunity.” The district decided to put posters showcasing the Bill of Rights next to the Ten Commandments in classrooms.

“The district intends to do this to give students a broader understanding of not only the responsibilities by which they might choose to live, but also the important individual freedoms they enjoy as Americans or while on American soil,” Superintendent Eric Wright wrote to parents.

District classrooms also share a note next to every poster explaining the new requirements under SB 10 and explaining it did not use taxpayer funds for the posters.

English teacher Laura O’Dea has the Ten Commandments and the Bill of Rights hanging up next to her door. She said the posters, which were delivered on Wednesday, have already sparked questions from students. O’Dea said one student asked her if students would be required to recite the commandments after the pledge.

“I said I really don’t think that is what is coming but I don’t have clear answers for her,” O’Dea said. “As the teacher I am here to facilitate learning, but I am certainly not a preacher or on my soap box trying to convince anyone of anything. My job is to bring everyone together.

The new requirement to post the Ten Commandments has sparked conversations amongst students at the district’s campuses. Lehman High School Junior Nevaeh Lyons said her friends have discussed what the posters mean for their school community.

“I am a Christian myself – I like love all that type of stuff, but we’re kind of setting, we are making other people feel they are not welcome in a spot that they need to be welcomed in.”

It’s unclear how many districts have received donations of posters displaying the Ten Commandments, but some Central Texas districts said they have received smaller donations of posters – including Fayetteville, Cherokee and La Grange ISD.

Some districts reported not receiving any donations since the law went into effect.

“We have people who love the Ten Commandments and want them in schools. We have people that love the Ten Commandments but think, ‘hey that is probably a lesson better taught at home or in the church.’ We have people that are not Christian that other faiths. We have people that have no faith at all. The frustrating part about a law like this is it makes it look like the district is picking a side,” Savoy said.
