Why can't Texas keep Christianity in church... or bowling alleys... or pool halls, yeah, that's a good place, or maybe 7-11's, or gas stations, refineries even. Seems really tedious to have it in schools. Aren't schools supposed to be for objective unbiased evaluations?

Democrats in Texas trying to fight back

I'm not overly religious, but if anything, my religion leans towards Buddhism, with a smattering of ancestor worship.

The guy in the video is 100% on the mark. To bible thumpers, it's not OK to teach basic human decency, but it's OK to try to indoctrinate children into Christianity. If I lived in Texas, which I never will, I'd sue the shit out of any school or teacher if I so much as see a bible being brought out.

Texas should go a step forward and make it a requirement for colleges in the state (or otherwise loose their certification of running the college), to require students to take a semester on religion and god. This wouldstop this insanity of adults starting mass shootings as belif in religion would be back.

If anyone bothered to read the bible they'd learn that the Lord Jesus Christ never forced his beliefs on anyone using church as the primary vehicle for the deliverance of the gospel. This is what happens when the salt loses its savor just as Jesus warned us it would.

I agree, but theocracy thru fear and violence for centuries set the stage for forceful adherence. Only in the last century or so in the U.S. has this slowly been changing, and religious people are grasping harder while the sand runs from their fists

My college religion class did a good job of showing how bullshit all the religions were.

Christopher Hitchens did an amazing job of it in his "god is not great" book. He ate organized religions for dinner, there was nothing left but broken, dry, picked-clean bones, and Christopher picking his teeth.

Uh, if true, time to GTFO of Texas.
I think it may be almost too late, Texas is already trying to pass several modern versions of the fugitive slave act to criminalize its citizens travelling out of the state, or assisting anyone from Texas trying to escape the state, if they are of a certain marginalized population (such as pregnant women with lives at risk from pregnancy, or trans youth)

Example 2: Texas seeking records of other states to impose criminal sanctions on escaped trans residents: https://www.opb.org/article/2023/12...-records-about-transgender-care-for-children/
