Bills introduced by Republicans in the Texas Senate would require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public schools and allow for schools to carve out time for students to read the Bible, in the latest effort by lawmakers in states to infuse religious doctrine in public education.

Republican Texas lawmakers are renewing a push to infuse a greater religious influence in the state's public schools with a pair of bills introduced Monday in the state Senate. Here's what's proposed.

A state senator, Phil King, introduced a bill Monday requiring schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms. Another senator, Mayes Middleton, introduced a bill that would let schools create time for students to pray and read the Bible or “other religious texts.”
