"I think this would be a good healthy step for Texas to bring back this tradition of recognizing America’s religious heritage," said Sen. Phil King, R, who sponsored the bill.
The upper chamber also on Thursday passed a bill empowering school districts to require that public schools provide time for students to pray or read a religious text.
Despite all the comments arguing whether or not this should be done, consider this: After the Supreme Court ruling in 1963 taking God (discipline/morality) out of schools, public schools have made a consistent decline in all vectors of child behaviors, learning, respect, etc., until we now have these whining losers growing up to be adult losers.
Regardless of which side you're on, if you analyze the statistics from 1963 to present on all these factors, it's impossible to deny.
