In a disturbing trend this legislative session, multiple Republican lawmakers are working to tear down the wall between Christian churches and public schools.
The Texas Senate passed SB 1515 last Thursday that would require public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms. The law mandates it be displayed in a conspicuous space and in a large enough format as to be easily readable. All 12 Democrats voted against the bill, which now heads to the Texas House. Lt. Governor Dan Patrick celebrated the passage.
“Allowing the Ten Commandments and prayer back into our public schools is one step we can take to make sure that all Texas have the right to freely express their sincerely held religious beliefs,” he said in a statement.
