"S.B. 10 looks nothing like a historical religious establishment," Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan, a President Donald Trump nominee, wrote for the nine-judge majority. "It does not tell churches or synagogues or mosques what to believe or how to worship or whom to employ as priests, rabbis, or imams. It punishes no one who rejects the Ten Commandments, no matter the reason."
...
"My office was proud to defend SB 10 and successfully ensure that the Ten Commandments will be displayed in classrooms across Texas," Paxton said. "The Ten Commandments have had a profound impact on our nation, and it's important that students learn from them every single day."

"It does not tell churches or synagogues or mosques what to believe or how to worship" - well, it tells impressionable children what to believe and how to worship, literally. And that's why Paxton has welcomed this idiotic decision with "it's important that students learn from them every single day". It "looks nothing like a historical religious establishment"; Paxton counters with "The Ten Commandments have had a profound impact on our nation", ie "this is how we used to establish one religion in this nation".
