Why the hell would you want public school teachers explaining to your 1st grader what adultery is?


GROOMERS!!!


Yes because teaching kids that it's ideal to have a nuclear family with a father and mother at the center of it, for life .. is the same as a trans pedo reading books to a 3rd grader.



It's good to see you have a balanced view of the world. I'm sure there tons of instances of "trans pedos reading books to 3rd graders" in Texas public schools. I bet it happens everyday in most schools.
you're the one equating adultery to grooming.
And every damn class I've been to has a Pride flag.
But oh no, how dare we have the commandments.


Zero percent chance this true.
100% true.
Are you in Austin ISD? Go to Bowie High School and tell me things are different.

I have been disgusted by AISD. They went off the deep end once Trump won. There is a reason that their enrollment is falling year after year, but they continue to double down on the insanity.

Democrats pontificate on threads like this, but every Austin democrat i know sends their kids to private school. The rest of us have to suffer the results of their continued stupidity and ignorance of what's happening in our schools.



To all the naysayers challenging deddog's claim that he saw LGBTQ flags in every classroom, his statement actually clarifies it was rooms that HE visited; he didn't say it was in every classroom, of every school in the state. He even identified where he saw such: Austin ISD.

As an attorney prepared to offer sworn testimony under threat of perjury & likely disbarment if I'm proven to be lying (since perjury & misuse/ conversion of client funds almost always results in disbarment on 'moral turpitude' grounds), as well as a Christian in recognition of the "Thou shall not lie" contained on the very Ten Commandments at issue in this thread, I too echo deddog's observations (at least in Kindergarten through fourth grade, which is when my ex-wife & I agreed to send our son to a private Catholic school); in fact, at Maplewood Elementary, I saw the exact same **** deddog is claiming! Plus, they held SEVERAL "Pride Week" events theought the calendar year. It was an over-the-top, in your face, dogmatic obsession at Mapplewood & other AISD schools to actively promote the LGBTQ "community", which'allegedly' was done pursuant to policy &/or an AISD directive. I also saw BLM, Green Energy, Climate Change, Patriarchy, & other Left-leaning causes prominently displayed in common areas & likewise in a a majority of the classrooms!!

Pull up the constitution, search for the word "God," and tell everyone how many hits you get.


Zero; but, how many times does it mention abortion, & does it even use the pronoun "she" anywhere either? Another "hot button" issue is 'gun control'; regarding that issue, it's the only issue addressed directly by the 'Top 10' (a/k/a "Bill of Rights") that utilizes a "shall not" admonition. Therefore, say what you will about God or abortion, but the 2nd Amendment was written in such a way that there is no gray area because that "shall not" leaves zero wiggle room!

This is political pandering at its finest. No way the supreme court upholds this....

Anyone who supports this should know its a double edged sword. Would you be okay with buddist texts, hinudu texts, ISLAM text? No. Leave religious instruction out of public schools.

I wouldn't be so sure of that!

That's cool, but what about this quote from James Madison?
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"


How does this establish a religion? Or prohibit the free exercise thereof?
The Supreme Court has clearly stated multiple times that a state-mandated religious displays that favor one religion over another that are not integrated with a secular display violate the establishment clause. See McCreary County v. ACLU of Kentucky, Van Orden v. Perry, and Lynch v. Donnelly for a primer on endorsement of religion and the establishment clause.
Interestingly, you didn't bother to say how these 10 commandments under the texas statute established religion.

As for the suggest primer, are you talking about the Van Orden case where 10 commandments were allowed at the courthouse? the Lynch v. Donnelly where a nativity scene was allowed at a shopping mall area? those cases don't exactly prove your point.

As for McCreary, it was such a "Clear" decision that they couldn't even get limp wristed Anthony Kennedy to go along with the liberals. that was a much different court of court than the one we have now.

perhaps you should read up on kennedy v Bremerton for the current's courts thoughts on the establishment clause and the lemon test being on life support.

So I'll try again. How specifically does this law establish religion? Because 2 of the 3 cases you cited said the displays that made the leftists skin burn did not violate the constitution.
Referring to your statement about those 2 cases, I think the operative term was "allowed". In the proposed Texas law, the operative term is "required".

It is on this point that I think the Texas law is not likely to survive Constitutional muster
