McAllen, Texas
McAllen ISD has issued a district wide notice to staff following a federal court order requiring the immediate removal of all Ten Commandments posters from classroom walls.
The district was recently named a defendant in a federal lawsuit challenging the statewide mandate passed earlier this year. According to the letter sent to staff, a U.S. federal judge directed McAllen ISD to remove all Ten Commandments displays while the case continues.
Staff have been instructed to take down the posters immediately and turn them in to their principals for storage in case future court orders require reinstatement.
