The Texas House on Sunday passed Senate Bill 10, a measure requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in every public-school classroom in the state.

Will these displays protect students from righty incels armed with assault rifles?

But not the Bill of Rights.

Violation of the separation of church and state. Unconstitutional.

They should follow through with this idea and display the names of the various local officials and high-ranking politicians next to the Commandments they violate.

They should put the Display beside a portrait of the current US President.... with a sign asking which of these Ten has he not broken multiple times, and then lied about it.

Can a woman covet her neighbor's husband?

Oh yeah inherent misogyny

In Christian understanding, the commandment not to covet the wife of one's neighbour also prohibits a woman from desiring her neighbour's husband. If this covetousness is directed at the spouse of another person, this constitutes a violation of God's commandment.

Given the apparent political focus of Christianity in the US of late, this is not a surprise.

But I have to ask, at what point do the wanderings of the Right-wing Christian Churches into politics triggers a ~they no longer are tax-exempt~ status?

Also, the inevitable result:

As conservatives put religion in schools, Satanists want in, too
When Arkansas installed a statue of the Ten Commandments outside the State Capitol, the Temple unveiled its own statue of Baphomet, a goat-headed figure, there, too.

"The church is supposed to direct the government. The government is not supposed to direct the church. That is not how our Founding Fathers intended it."

"I'm tired of this separation of church and state junk that's not in the Constitution. It was in a stinking letter, and it means nothing like what they say it does."

THIS is how they "think".

I think it would be perfectly ok if they allow religious symbols from all religions to be displayed in schools. Religion is part of our human history and culture.

In history or religious studies classes of course. But they all have to be the same size and footprint.

I would love to see a statue of the Buddha in every school.

Exactly. Religion has historic significance. It is prevalent in most cultures at some level.
But Texas of course does not want those things; they want Texas kids to be good little drones of one faith only.

This will be struck down before the 4th of July holiday.
