How this school year could look different for your kid

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA)-- Gov. Greg Abbott signed dozens of bills that pertain to the classroom at the end of the 89th session of the Texas Legislature, including the display of the Ten Commandment in the classroom and banning cellphones.

Some parents ABC-7 spoke to say teachers shouldn't be obligated post it when not all students follow it.

"If we're not willing to make room for people of other religions to pose to their important, scriptures or important texts in the classroom, then I feel like it's not fair to make an exception for the Ten Commandments," said Anna Parrish.

While some are excited about it.

"I think it's a wonderful thing to to instill those morals and values, Christian morals into children," said Julie Hernandez.

Under Senate Bill 10 public school teachers must put a poster or framed copy of the religious text that's at least 16 by 20 inches in their classrooms.

Gustavo Reveles, the spokesperson for Canutillo ISD says this new requirement isn't useful in the classroom itself.

"The state again, spend a lot of their time, working on, on these sort of, issues that, create nothing, in terms of instruction, but really deal with a lot of, cultural wars for, for school districts. And we now have to spend a lot of resources in our times, dealing with this," said Reveles.

The state won't be providing the Ten Commandments and schools aren't required to buy them, so it's up to donors.  

"It's at least not at a cost to the school district. But again, if someone donates them and they meet all state requirements for that, for that, lot, we will comply," Reveles told ABC-7.

School districts across the borderland have said the Ten Commandments aren't posted in classrooms yet. 

Including  Ysleta ISD, Clint ISD, and Canutillo ISD. 

San Elizario ISD, Socorro ISD, and EPISD told ABC-7 they were looking into it.
