Just saw on the news that a bill has been passed out of the Texas Senate that will require the Ten Commandments be displayed in every classroom in Texas in a font large enough to be legible from anywhere in the room. The bill goes to the House, which skews Republican 83 to 67, so the bill will no doubt pass and then off to Gov Abbott who will sign it.

Things like this just stir up controversy and division and provide the Democrats to an easy argument to bash the Republicans, who deserve it in this case. Religious education is something that parents can include in rearing their children if they are so inclined, but the state had no business getting involved. This sleeping dog should have been left alone.

No doubt after stirring up a lot of rancor, it will be shot down in court. And for what, a brief moment of virtue signaling to the religious right at the expense of losing other elections that have true impact on all citizens lives regardless of their religion. Bah.
