Texas Senate Passes Controversial Education Bills.

The Texas Senate has passed a bill that would require public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom starting next school year. The Senate also passed a bill that would allow public and charter schools to set aside time for students and employees to read the Bible or other religious texts and to pray. Supporters of the bills say they are wins for religious freedom in Texas, while opponents argue that parents, not schools, should be having conversations about religion with their children.
