Texas is the largest state to try to add the Ten Commandments into the public school system.

However, it is not the first to try.

Louisiana and Arkansas both attempted to pass a similar law, but were blocked by federal courts, according to AP News.

Louisiana judges ruled the law unconstitutional. Some have argued that the law goes against the First Amendment, which protects the separation of church and state, giving Americans the right to express their religious beliefs without fear of persecution.

The law, signed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, is known as Senate Bill 10. The bill is expected to be taken up later by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Dozens of Christian and Jewish faith leaders signed a letter opposing the addition of the Ten Commandments into classrooms. They state that there are thousands of students from different faith backgrounds, “who might have no connection to the Ten Commandments,” according to Politico.

Those who support the bill argue that the Ten Commandments are a centerpiece of world history. They also argue that they serve as a “reminder of the values that guide responsible citizenship,” according to AP News.

An order against the law will be put into effect on Sept. 1.
