Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said he wants all schools in Texas to make time for Bible reading and prayer.

"As I've always said and believed, we want the word of God opened, the Ten Commandments displayed, and prayers lifted up in Texas classrooms," Paxton told Fox News Digital in a statement Monday.

"Those who oppose this law want to erode the moral fabric of our society and dismantle the very foundation that America’s greatness was built upon," Paxton said. "I will not stand by while the values that have always guided us are stripped away and religious freedoms are trampled, which is exactly why I’m encouraging prayer to be brought back into our classrooms."
