"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.
I don't think it is counter productive. Our constitution is based on freedoms given by God to man. So it should be taught as such. Prayer time? Any time is prayer time, so that seems silly. Teach the constitution and it's God based origins. Ten commandments I'm not sure on. I mean they're good values to teach, but..... I guess perhaps they should. If they're going to teach evil shit teach godly things too. Free will is a Christian tenant so give them all the info and let them decide!
