In an exclusive interview with FOX News Digital, 40 days praised the President and CEO Shawn Carney, the legislators of Texas for the adoption of laws that would require The ten commandments in every public school classroom in the state.
The legislative template, which is approved by the two chambers of the state legislature and is now waiting for Governor Greg Abbott Signature mandates that each classroom has a poster or a framed copy of the ten commandments that are at least 16 inches wide and 20 inches in size and can be read from anywhere in the room.
When signed The law would Get into force in the school year 2025-26.

Shawn Carney is the father of eight years and President and CEO of 40 days for life, a pro-life organization. (With friendly approval of 40 days for life)
“It’s great,” said Carney. “The ten commandments are good. It is basically the moral code for most people who have ever lived. No matter what their belief system, most people don’t believe that we should steal, kill or commit adultery.
“It’s a nice thing,” he added. “I am proud to be a Texan Where you support this and it is something we need in the classrooms. “
Carney, who leads what he describes as the world’s largest pro-life organization in 64 countries, combined legislation with a broader cultural change. On its website, the group explains that it is “an internationally coordinated 40-day campaign, which is intended to end the abortion through prayer and fasting, public relations and a peaceful all-day vigil”.
“These are good things – it’s good to live a baby,” said Carney. “The ten commandments are good.”

Carney went back to the argument that the legislation violates constitutional concerns The first change Furniture clause.
“We have Moses in the US Capitol. Nobody has ever increased a stink about it,” he said. “The ten commandments, something that was celebrated in generations of Americans who went ahead of us is simply not a big deal.”
Carney also emphasized that the historical intention behind the separation of the church and the state was to protect religious freedom and not to eliminate religious references from public institutions.
“Jefferson wanted to separate the church and the state to protect the church,” he said, quoting the recent federal actions that he sees as a violation of religious freedom. “We saw how the bidges tried to force Catholic doctors to carry out abortions or prescribe contraceptives. We have to protect the church.”

He framed the invoice as part of a broader counter -reaction against what he described as the secular “aroused mentality”, of which he believed that it eroded moral clarity.
“Our schools are violent. They are places that need the ten commandments,” said Carney. “Even if you don’t believe in God, you should be able to learn something about God.
“There was this advance that it is archaic to believe in God,” he continued. “This calculation is another step in the right direction.”
Although the Supreme Court has depressed a similar law in Stone against Graham (1980), Carney believes that the efforts of Texas will survive legal challenges.
“I think it will survive the legal battles,” he said. “It is very smart to check this with a new Supreme Court and do something.”

Carney also sees the law as a potential model for other countries.
“Texas has the bar high,” he said. “This is a precedent. Most atheists believe in the ten commandments. They are the basis of western civilization.”
“The ideal result is that more states do this in the next five or ten years,” he said. “We need instructions. We don’t do it alone.

“The ten commandments refer to the good. To love the discipline. To love. And to grace,” he added. “They help us know what is wrong. We all grow in virtue by learning and following the ten commandments, regardless of our religious background.”
Texas would join Louisiana and Arkansas, who have already passed similar laws.
Supporters of the legislation say that the commandments represent a fundamental code of conduct, while critics warn that they could take a constitutional examination before a federal court. Fox 4 reported.
