The American Civil Liberties Union asked the Supreme Court on Monday to hear its challenge to Texas' law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in their classrooms.

The request comes after a federal appeals court upheld the state law in April, which passed the Republican-led state legislature last year and requires elementary and secondary school classrooms to post a display of the Ten Commandments.

The ACLU, which is representing a group of interfaith parents, claimed to the Supreme Court that the appeals court's decision "decided these cases in a way that conflicts with this Court’s precedents but also deepened confusion among the lower courts over how this Court’s Establishment Clause jurisprudence applies."

The Supreme Court chooses what cases it hears but turns away the vast majority. The justices will likely consider the ACLU’s request at a closed-door conference after the court’s next term begins in October.

The appeal also comes after an Arkansas judge ruled a similar state law in his state was unconstitutional in March.
