Texas Lawmakers Want Religious Indoctrination In Schools

In a disturbing yet not exactly surprising move, Republicans in the Texas statehouse have taken the first steps toward passing three bills that inject religion into public schools. One requires public schools to display “in a conspicuous place” the Ten Commandments in every classroom. Another measure will allow schools to require prayer and Bible reading time each school day for students and employees who give their consent to participate.

A third bill would ensure school employees the right to “engage in religious speech or prayer while on duty.”

It’s not the first effort by Texas Republicans to inject religion into public schools. In 2021, the state passed a law requiring schools to display donated “In God we trust” signs.

2. Oh goody let's have a bible reading by all means

I insist on Chapter 19 of Genesis, Exodus 12 and 2 Samuel 11 & 12.

That's just for starters!

3. Does this mean a teacher can tell their students they are going to hell

if they don't accept christ as their personal savior?

Muslims. Nation of Islam. Malcolm X. Or how about native prayer chants…)

And would this be allowed for adherents of all religions without any discrimination or exceptions?
