The co-author of a bill that became Texas law just over two months ago says he's going to challenge activist judges who deliver questionable rulings against the display of the Ten Commandments.
The American Civil Liberties Union has joined with some "religious freedom groups," in a court case aimed at stopping the new law requiring the 10 Commandments be posted in all state public school classrooms.
Texas Senator Mays Middleton says he "won't let activist judges strip away the foundational principals that built this nation.
"Our country is in the midst of a great revival and is desperate for a renewed morality grounded in the beliefs that founded our country, and I'm fighting tooth and nail to ensure our kids see the moral compass of the 10 Commandments every day."
The case, Nathan et al v. Alamo Heights Independent School District claims that parents in the Alamo Heights school district don't want the Commandments displayed because it's a violation of religious freedom.
Sen. Middleton condemned challenges to the new state law that include "twisted contortions of the Establishment Clause of the US Constitution" that result in the controversial doctrine of Separation of Church and State,
