Faith Leaders ‘Say Amen’ As Senator Predicts Legal Victories For Ten Commandments In Texas
Faith and political leaders alike are speaking up in support of returning the Ten Commandments to schools across Texas in July, despite lawsuits trying to stop this historical document from being taught to children. Senate Bill 10 passed earlier this year, mandating that all Texas classrooms display the Ten Commandments as they are seen across the state, particularly on the grounds of the Austin capitol grounds. The Ten Commandments, aside from being the foundation of law and human behavior across Western civilization for the last 3,000 years, are also part of America’s foundational history. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Sen.

What Are Pastors Saying? “As for me I would say that posting the Ten Commandments in the schools will truly promote moral values, provide a historical and cultural context for law and ethics and offer a framework for ethical behavior for the future generation,” pastor Mariya James of St. Stephen Catholic Church in Weatherford told the Weatherford Democrat in July. “Prohibitions against murder, theft, adultery and false testimony are foundational to any functioning society,” he continued. “And this must be reminded to the students often for a healthier society. … The absence of moral guidance in schools could lead to negative consequences, including a disregard for morality and an increase in anti-social behavior.” “It goes back so far,” Northside Baptist Church retired Rev. Van Houser told the same outlet. “These have been the basic tenets for many, many, many generations and civilizations. So I think in that regard they stand as something visual for children to be reminded of, things that regard common decency and basic tenets.” Lawsuits Sue To Stop Ten Commandments Displays The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas filed a suit against Senate Bill 10 in July, claiming that the new law violates the religious rights of students, despite the document technically being historical — not faith based in the context of the Texas law. “The lawsuit is no surprise,” Sen. Phil King told the Fort Worth Report while he voiced a prediction of victory against the ACLU’s position in the suit. “That’s what the left does.” “I feel very confident, if there is a lawsuit on the Texas Ten Commandments, that the Supreme Court will uphold our statute,” King said prior to the lawsuit, a sentiment he echoed in conversation with Million Voices earlier in the year. (EXCLUSIVE: ‘Stand Firm’ Says Sen. Dotson On Bringing The Ten Commandments To Classrooms) “It’s so popular,” King added of the public reaction to the law. “I can’t tell you how many people I’ve run into that bring it up. I think the general public is very excited about it.” “When we were kids, the Ten Commandments were in public buildings,” he clarified. “It was in schools. Everybody just recognized that was just a wonderful statement of morality. It was something that we were taught from day one, just like the Golden Rule.” Legal Precedent For Success Along with the overturning of multiple laws related to the removal of historical religious texts and practices from the public square, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott fought in 2005 to keep the Ten Commandments on the grounds of the state capitol. (RELATED: ‘Separation Of Church And State Is A Lie’: Legal Precedent Collapses Bringing Religious Freedom To US) Abbott won this argument when it landed all the way up in the Supreme Court, so there is huge context for any lawsuits against the Ten Commandments to lose in the country’s highest court. How To Get Involved In Bringing The Ten Commandments Back To Schools Million Voices is the instrumental leader in creating a means of you, our readers, members, and even folks who are only finding us for the first time, to bring the Ten Commandments back to classrooms. Even though there are lawsuits trying to stop the implementation of the posters of the Ten Commandments in classrooms, every classroom can still legally display the posters. But we can’t do it without your help. For generations, schools displayed the Ten Commandments to promote basic moral values—like respect, honesty, and personal responsibility. They weren’t just religious—they were viewed as a foundation for good citizenship and character. Though many were removed after a 1980 Supreme Court ruling, states are now restoring the right to display them again. With your help, we’re putting them back—one school at a time.

‘Separation Of Church And State Is A Lie’: Legal Precedent Collapses Bringing Religious Freedom To US
Have you heard the good news that the Ten Commandments will soon be displayed across classrooms in multiple states? Many people think these legislations fly in the face of laws written to separate church and state, but there are no laws — and never have been — that separate the church and public spaces in America. Are you shocked? You should be! The anti-faith lobbies within lawmaking have done an amazing job convincing at least four generations of Americans that they cannot practice their faith in the spaces their taxes fund. (RELATED: Mamdani’s Shocking Claim: Blames America For al-Qaeda Terrorist’s Rise) Libraries, schools, universities, so many different public spaces are now in for a rude awakening: not only is the short-held precedent that allowed us to remove Christ from our classrooms falling apart at the federal level, but states are taking serious action to educate and implement His word in public spaces. Listen to Lakepointe Church Pastor Josh Howerton discuss this issue in a recent post on social media: What most people believe about the “separation of church and state” is a LIE ⛪️❌ pic.twitter.com/FCpGCYyJH2 — Josh Howerton (@howertonjosh) June 2, 2025 Why Do People Think The U.S. Separates Church and State? In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-to-3 in favor of high school football coach Joseph Kennedy’s right to pray at the 5-yard line at the end of each game. The decision overturned a short-held legal precedent regarding the constitutionality of public religious displays. It’s believed the Ten Commandments were a prominent part of American education for almost three centuries prior to 1980, when the prior legal precedent was held against it. “Respect for religious expressions is indispensable to life in a free and diverse Republic. Here, a government entity sought to punish an individual for engaging in a personal religious observance, based on a mistaken view that it has a duty to suppress religious observances even as it allows comparable secular speech. The Constitution neither mandates nor tolerates that kind of discrimination. Mr. Kennedy is entitled to summary judgment on his religious exercise and free speech claims,” wrote Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch at the time. (RELATED: What’s America Gonna Look Like? Shocking Video from Rome Gives Preview) The first purely American educational textbook “New England Primer” was published by Benjamin Harris in Boston in 1690, featuring an in-depth section on the Ten Commandments. In the context of American history, 45 years, from 1980 to 2025, without having the Ten Commandments in our education system doesn’t seem like a very long time, especially when you take into account it was part of our curriculum from at least 1690 to 1980 (that’s 290 years). But ask yourself: how do the last 45 years or so compare to the previous 290? Do You Know How Your Pastor Feels About Politics?

Joe Pags Launches ‘Unshaken And Unafraid’ With Salem Media Group; WATCH The Epic Premiere Episode
Nationally syndicated radio talk show host Joe Pags launched his new podcast “Unshaken and Unafraid” Monday with an epic first episode, exclusively developed by Salem Media Group. Friend of The Modern Memo, Joe Pags, launched the first episode of his new podcast with one of the most intense interviews you’ll hear about what’s really going on in the Middle East, and why it matters to every single American here at home and abroad. Pags is joined by CIA targeter Sarah Adams, one of the most knowledgeable individuals on the heightened threat of Islamic fundamentalists to Western civilization, and they get right to the meat of it. “I think the belief is that the terrorists just want us out of their land overseas, but that’s only one step. They want that, and then they want to end our civilization and then take over our lands. And I think the last piece really gets forgotten and then people get confused when you [say] that they’re targeting the homeland,” Adams explains early in the conversation. https://t.co/E1oTU7ocml — Joe Pags Pagliarulo (@JoeTalkShow) May 5, 2025 As these collective terror groups gain control of Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, and likely Somalia in the coming months, Adams describes their behavior as “baby steps” in a “grander” plan. (RELATED: ‘Will Be Punished’: Consequences Arrive Early For Canadian Voters After Doubling Down On Wokeism) At the center of the threat are the sons of Osama bin Laden. While the late senior terrorist was absolutely fine waiting potentially hundreds of years for his global Islamic caliphate to be realized, his offspring want to see it come to fruition in their lifetimes. Imminent Threat? The magnitude of the Islamic terror threat appears to have been shielded from the general American public under the mass-propaganda machine of mainstream news media, which Pags pointed out so eloquently as having pushed the false narrative that cities like Fallujah are like “Charlotte, North Carolina.” (RELATED: Guys, We May Have Found The Most Addictive New Outdoors Show On YouTube) The U.S. has never seen the type of terrorist that exists in cities like Fallujah, Adams continues, noting that law enforcement in the U.S. needs adequate training to deal with their tactics, especially as so many known terrorists walked over President Joe Biden’s open border in the last four years.
