Texas Senate passes bill requiring school classrooms to display Ten Commandments
- version_five 4y ago“Parents should be able to decide what religious materials their child should learn, not the (Texas legislature),” the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas said in a statement. Definitely agree, but it's super ironic in that there's all sorts of ideology being taught in schools now, that's effectively the same as a religion, but it gets a pass because it's not a monotheistic religion.

- jleyank 4y agoBlatant, deliberate first amendment violation. Reasonable chance of this surviving the current us judicial system. The us was founded by groups seeking religious freedom (including freedom from religion, at least state sanctioned ones). So it’s sorta treasonous to the us in a way. Which is historically common in Texas, having done it twice (Mexico, US). They might just be planning to cater to their base but one can’t assume this any more.
