With standards we wouldn't last a week.

I was recently chastised for not treating the holocaust with the proper respect, and I've learned and grown from the experience. I think we can all learn a valuable lesson here as well.

I don’t recall any of that.

Are you trying to be funny?

The Texas Senate on Tuesday advanced bills that would require public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments and allow districts to provide students with time to pray during school hours.
Senators gave final approval to Senate Bill 11, the school prayer bill, on a 23-7 vote. It now heads to the Texas House for consideration. All Republican senators and three Democrats — Royce West of Dallas, Judith Zaffirini of Laredo and Juan Hinojosa of McAllen — voted for the bill.
Lawmakers also gave initial approval to Senate Bill 10, the Ten Commandments bill, on a 20-10 vote. Both proposals are on Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s list of priority bills this session.

Are Hindu kids still allowed to have graven images?

It's nice to see Texas stepping up to the plate to address gun violence, which I think we can all acknowledge is a massive problem in the US, particularly in the south.
Next time there's a school shooter they'll be able to point at the sign saying 'thou shalt not kill' and the whole thing will be taken care of'.

Hindi kids have had them for a few thousand years. My coworker has one on his desk.

That's impossible, you know. Jesus existed before the foundations of the world.

I mean - what’s a 8 year old Hindu kid supposed to think when the sign at his school says that graven images are forbidden by god.
I’m definitely in support of things like having Christmas pageants and the like, don’t get me wrong.
But hanging up the rules of one religion in a government building seems odd. Can we hang up Buddhist, Islamic and Sikh teachings as well?
I don’t get the point of this.

I think school districts should highlight in yellow the ones Trump has broken. I think it’s at least 5 or 6.

Well, think in one hand and poop in the other. See which one fills up faster...

Ha I had the same thought. Certainly it’s a solid 6, likely 8. But I’m hesitant to go down that path, we all have planks in our own eyes.

Maybe it will help spark a dialogue with his parents and why they believe what they believe.

It's extremely dumb. Learn about your religion in church. Yes as a Christian I believe I am right and others are wrong, but I can also see how inappropriate it is to pick one religion and display its artifacts in a classroom. Honestly I don't care other than it's absolutely the slipperiest of slopes as what prevents all N number of faiths and belief systems to display their stuff, and then blink and you'll have 5 breaks during the day for everyone to be quiet during Salah.
