In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Sean Carney, President and CEO of Carne, praised 40 days Ten Commandments To be displayed in every semester in public schools in the state.
The draft law, which is approved by both rooms of the legislative body and is waiting now Ruler of Greg Abbott The signature shows that each semester is characterized by a poster or a framed version of the ten wills of at least 16 inches and 20 inches, and its length from anywhere in the room.

“This is great,” Carney said. “The ten wills are good. It is essentially the moral law of most people who lived at all. Regardless of their system of beliefs, most people do not think that we must steal, kill or commit adultery.
“It is a beautiful thing,” he added. “I am proud to be Texas Where they support this, which is something we need in the classroom. “
Carney, who leads what he describes as the largest life -supporting organization in the world, which operates in 64 countries, links the legislation to a wider cultural shift. On its website, the group explains that it is “a 40 -day global coordinated campaign aimed at ending abortion locally through prayer and fasting, communication with society, a quiet pause throughout the day in front of abortion companies.”
“These are good things – allowing the child to live is good,” Carney said. “Ten Commandments are good.”

In addressing constitutional concerns, Carney pushed the argument that the legislation violates First amendment Establishment.
“We have Moses in the Capitol in the United States. No one has ever raised the stink about it,” he said. “The ownership of the ten commandments, something that was celebrated across generations of Americans who went before us, the presence of those in school is not just a big problem.”
Carney also stressed that the historical intention behind the separation of the Church and the state was the protection of religious freedom, and not to eliminate religious references from public institutions.
He said: “Jefferson wanted to separate the church and the state to protect the church,” noting the recent federal measures seen as violating religious freedom. “We have seen the Biden administration trying to force Catholic doctors to perform miscarriages or describe contraceptive methods. We need to protect the church.”

He frame the draft law as part of a broader violent reaction against what he described as a secular “mentality”, which is believed to have eroded moral clarity.
“Our schools are violent. They are places that need ten commandments,” Carney said. “Even if you do not believe in God, you should be able to know God.
He continued, “There was this batch that faith in God is old.” “This bill is another step in the right direction.”
Although the Supreme Court canceled a similar law in the Stone case against Graham (1980), Carney believes that Texas’s effort will escape legal challenges.
“I think it will survive the legal battles,” he said. “Reconsidering this with the new Supreme Court is very wise and something to do.”

Carney also sees the law as a possible model for other countries.
“Texas has put the bar high,” he said. “This puts a precedent. Most atheists believe in the ten wills. It is the basis of Western civilization.”
Looking at the future, Carney hopes that the draft law encourages a greater ethical training in the country.
“The perfect result is that more countries do so over the next five or ten years,” he said. “We need instructions. We do not do well on our own.

“The ten commandments refer to goodness. To discipline. To the truth. For love. And mercy.” “They help us to know what is right. We are all growing virtue through learning and following the ten commandments, regardless of our religious background.”
Texas will join Louisiana and Arkansas, which has already issued similar laws.
Legislative supporters say that the commandments represent a constituent code of behavior, while critics warn that he may face the constitutional audit in the Federal Court, Fox 4 mentioned.
