Texas Senate Passes Bill Requiring 10 Commandments in Every Classroom

The Texas state Senate passed a bill on Thursday requiring public schools to prominently display a copy of the 10 Commandments in every classroom.

THE UNITED STATES was founded on the separation of church and state. It’s in the Constitution and everything. The Republican Party has long been working to dismantle this principle — sometimes by gesturing toward Christian nationalism, and sometimes, in the case of the Texas state Senate, by trying to write it into law.

The legislative body approved a bill on Thursday that wouldn’t just permit the state’s public schools to display the 10 Commandments; it would require them to do so and to do so prominently.

Senate Bill 1515 holds that “a public elementary or secondary school shall display in a conspicuous place in each classroom of the school a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments.” The copy of the Judeo-Christian principles to live by must be “legible to a person with average vision from anywhere in the classroom.”

The gubmint shall not establish a particular religion as the state religion. This has been interpreted for decades to include government shall not show preference of one religion over another.

I think the 10 commandments are great rules to live by, but they shouldn't be posted on classroom walls any more than the 5 pillars of Islam should.

Fun fact - churches and other religious leaders were the ones who pushed for an end to religious teaching in school. Protestants didn’t want their children hearing any Catholic nonsense as the Irish flooded the US. Churches wanted to make sure they were the ones grooming the next generation.

So which version of Christianity are we going to teach?
