The Brief
- A federal judge has temporarily blocked 11 Texas school districts, including Plano ISD, from enforcing a new state law that requires the display of the Ten Commandments in classrooms.
- The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by parents who argue that the law violates the First Amendment.
- The Texas Attorney General says he will appeal the decision, but for now, the law still applies to other school districts not named in the lawsuit.
One North Texas school district is temporarily exempt from the new law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in classrooms.
