Opponents say the Ten Commandments and prayer measures infringe on others’ religious freedom, and more lawsuits are expected. The American Civil Liberties Union, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the Freedom From Religion Foundation have said they will file lawsuits opposing the Ten Commandments measure.

A group of North Texas parents is suing the state and their students' school districts after Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.

The lawsuit says the law requiring public classrooms to display the Ten Commandments "unconstitutionally pressures students into religious observance, reverence, and adoption of the state’s mandated religious scripture.
