The Issue:
For generations, the Ten Commandments have been a moral compass, shaping the principles of law, justice, and community in America. The recent federal ruling blocking Texas from requiring them in classrooms ignores this deep cultural and historical significance.

The Ten Commandments are not just religious text—they are part of our nation’s heritage. "Do not steal," "Do not murder," "Honor your parents"—these are universal values that guide young people toward respect, accountability, and responsibility.

Removing them erases a foundation of moral teaching that has anchored American life for centuries. At a time when classrooms face crises of discipline, violence, and disconnection, we need timeless guidance—not censorship.

Decision Makers:

  • Texas State Legislature
  • Governor Greg Abbott
  • Texas Education Agency

We urge leaders to defend this law and fight for the Ten Commandments to remain visible in schools as a reminder of values that transcend politics and guide our next generation.

Letter to
Governor Greg Abbott
Texas State Legislature

Dear Governor Abbott and Texas Education Leaders,

On behalf of concerned citizens and petition signers at SignItNow.org, I write to strongly support Texas’s effort to display the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.

These commandments are not just religious principles—they are enduring moral values that have shaped American law, justice, and community life. "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Honor your parents"—these truths are universal and vital to building character in young people.

A federal judge’s ruling undermines Texas’s right to preserve tradition and promote respect, responsibility, and accountability in schools. At a time when our classrooms face moral and social crises, removing the Ten Commandments sends the wrong message to our children.

We urge you to continue defending this law and to appeal this ruling. The Ten Commandments deserve their place in Texas classrooms, reminding every child of values that unite us across generations.

Sincerely,
SignItNow Team
On behalf of petition signers at SignItNow.org
