The Next Generation Action Network (NGAN), led by Dallas-based activist Dominique Alexander, has filed a lawsuit against the State of Texas seeking to block a new law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.

“Over the years, the Next Generation Action Network has organized for a plethora of causes. It has taken great strides towards combating oppression and discrimination for the Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities,” according to the NGAN website.

Senate Bill 10, authored by State Sen. Phil King (R-Weatherford) and signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott, requires all public elementary and secondary schools in Texas to display a copy of the Ten Commandments in each classroom beginning with the 2025–2026 school year.

In a Facebook post, NGAN wrote, “This isn’t about restoring faith. This is about government control. This is about pushing Trump’s Bible into Texas schools.” Another flyer circulated by the group read, “WE DO NOT WANT TRUMP’S BIBLE IN TEXAS CLASSROOMS.”

The post received several responses on Facebook, including some critical of NGAN’s position.

“Go ahead and reject the blessings of GOD if you want. But, do not be a stumbling block to children…,” wrote one commenter, Stephen Smith, in a comment on NGAN’s Facebook post.

“…No problem teaching kids about drag queens, but God…,” responded another commenter, Susie Hortman.
Dominique Alexander, NGAN’s founder, has a criminal record that includes past convictions for assault and theft. He has also publicly defended Karmelo Anthony, the teenager indicted for first-degree murder in connection with the death of Austin Metcalf during a Frisco ISD track meet in April.

The Dallas Express reached out to Alexander but did not receive a response by the time of publication.

The group did not outline the legal basis for its lawsuit in the Facebook post, but similar challenges to laws involving religious displays in public schools have previously cited First Amendment concerns.
