One East Texas lawmaker says yes. State Representative Dan Flynn of Van has filed a bill for the upcoming legislative session that forbids Texas school boards from prohibiting the posting of the Ten Commandments. It\u2019s an issue that has seen legal challenges before, and Flynn acknowledges the idea won\u2019t be popular with everyone. According to Flynn, \u201cJust about every bill that\u2019s filed in the Texas Legislature or Unites States Congress, somebody has an issue with. And if you only file bills that you feel like are immune to lawsuits, you probably wouldn\u2019t be doing much work.\u201d Flynn says he\u2019s gotten support for the bill from parents, teachers and even students.
