"Controversial Bills Passed by Texas and Florida Senates Impact Public Schools and Universities"

The Texas Senate has passed a bill that would require public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom starting next school year. This is the latest attempt by Texas Republicans to inject religion into public schools. The bill now heads to the House for consideration. The Senate also passed a bill that would allow public and charter schools to adopt a policy requiring every campus to set aside a time for students and employees to read the Bible or other religious texts and to pray.
