A bill requiring Texas public schools to display posters of the Ten Commandments in every classroom is causing debate, even among Christians, over the separation of church and state in the US.

The bill cleared state legislature in May and is headed to the Governor, Greg Abbott’s desk, where it is expected to be signed.
