Lawmakers in the Texas Senate Education K-16 Committee gave initial approval Tuesday to two bills that would put more Christian teachings and practices in public schools, setting Republicans up with a second chance after similar proposals failed to become law in 2023. Senate Bill 10, authored by Weatherford Republican Senator Phil King [photo], would require a 16 by 20-inch poster of the Ten Commandments be conspicuously displayed in every public primary and secondary school classroom.
King said Tuesday the bill is meant to return Texas schools to a time before the Ten Commandments and prayer was purged from public schools by the U.S. Supreme Court in a string of rulings that found display of the Ten Commandments and prayer violated the First Amendment’s establishment clause. Also approved was Senate Bill 11, under which school districts would need to allow for a moment of prayer or reading from Christian texts, including the Bible, during the school day.
Read the full article. As he’s doing in other states, fake historian and Christian nationalist David Barton is helping the Texas reps. Phil King last appeared here for his bill banning Texas cities from offering free WiFi in airports and other public spaces. 
NEW: A Texas Senate committee has OK’d bills to require the 10 Commandments in classrooms and allow districts to set aside prayer time. Lawmakers and supporters argued church-state separation doesn’t exist and that the bills would spark a revival of faith.https://t.co/gwr7NzY6AM
