The bill passed by a vote of 82–46, with several Democrats joining Republicans in support.
It now returns to the Senate for final approval before being sent to Governor Greg Abbott, who is expected to sign it into law.
The legislation would take effect on September 1th, aligning with the start of the new school year.
Under the bill, schools must post a version of the Ten Commandments taken from the King James Bible, matching the text used on the monument outside the Texas State Capitol.
“The wording won’t need to be subject to a new court case objection,” said Rep. Candy Noble (R-Lucas), the bill’s sponsor in the House.
“This monument and the words on it have already been approved and upheld by the Supreme Court in a 2005 case.”

What happened to freedom of religion? What happened to not indoctrination of children? There is nothing wrong with teaching ideas. Indeed, I strongly encourage that even if I disagree with the ideas, but anything that is forced repetition as if it were Truth is programming.
My children should not be forced into any programming. After careful investigation and consideration, I think the ten commandments, and indeed, the entire Abrahamic indoctrination paradigm is purely evil. You may not agree with me, and I completely respect that. But if you can't respect my thoughts, or how I want to teach my children, then again, that it is purely evil from my perspective.
Forced religion is evil, no matter what religion it is.
Evil is as Evil does. It's that simple.
Curious how that is, but that’s a separate issue.
I think it can be agreed that setting the precedent of making religious indoctrination mandatory at a state level, even with the Ten Commandments, but especially in a state with a significant Muslim/Hindu population, without removing them or stopping the inflows, may be a bad chess move.
Seriously people, letting the politicians run things, and just reacting like seagrass in direct, immediate response, is not the way to play this game. We need to be leading them, not the other way around, and we have to have to learn how to run things and start thinking ahead, and Texas may not be in as much control as is thought by just looking at this move.
How’s your mosque/masjid population rate of increase doing? Who’s going to get the most funding from this recent school voucher bill that was just passed?
Think, and dig. Is Texas really in a place where this is a good idea already? Did they already fix your immigration problems? Who’s living there now? Not saying it definitely isn’t a good time for this, but rather 1. Have you thought this process through 2. Is it actually a good time for it?
That said, atheism is also a religious indoctrination mode as well, based faiths of sorts, and it’s been the mode-du-jure standard for decades.
I do respect your posts slyver, no offense intended if any was made.
It's certainly better than the Ten Commandments, but the Bill of Rights has it's own issues of fuckery.
That too has issues. Less on what is said, and more on what is not said, and the contents of the Constitution itself.
All you need to teach in school is the ability to communicate ("the 3R's"). The Constitution needs to have fundamental and explicit statements regarding our individual Sovereignty, which it does not. The training of individual Sovereignty needs to be a cultural learning, not a legal or school one. It pretends to give us that in the DoI and the Bill of Rights, but it does the opposite. One example is the concept of individual property rights. The work of Locke included Property in his original list of Inalienable Rights (Life, Liberty, and Property), but in the DoI Property was completely absent.
Within the Constitution itself, the US Government (a corporation, AKA legal fiction, built by and for the Elite) allots ALL property to itself, giving the individual only the right to a lease. That was there from the very beginning of that system, noted several times. Indeed, numerous pieces of fuckery were denoted in the Preamble, including the concept of "The Common Defense." There's nothing wrong per se for a common defense. Indeed, it makes a lot of sense. However, through the system that was actually created, all people are technically slaves through the implementation of forced conscription, built into the fundamentals of the Constitution (as just one example of that slavery, not the only one).
In the system we got, we own nothing, not even ourselves, and we are happy about it.
As it turns out, our Constitution was written by the same Aristocracy that created that other phrase that sounds so similar.
I have pointed out problems with them. You completely ignored the few points I briefly elucidated (of the many I can show you). For one example, the US Constitution was created by Aristocrats for Aristocrats, and the plebeians were slaves to the Aristocrats. LOOK AT THE FUCKING LAWS it's all over the place. Only a few of the people could even vote in their "Republic." All of them landowners, all Aristocrats, only men, only a couple percent of the population.
I can give very specific examples in the laws themselves. There are a lot of them, so please ask specific questions and don't expect me to list them all.
Do you even know what common law is? Common law (current definition, used by the US Govt) is the law created by the Judges. Judges just so happen to be a bunch of Aristocrats, a genetic group, all wealthy, almost all of them the children (or grandchildren, etc.) of the British Aristocrats. We The People had nothing to do with our system of laws. Not now, and not from inception.
A Corporation means Legal Fiction (look it up). It means you take a non-corporal fiction and turn it into a corporal one within the fiction of law, specifically so it can act in lieu of the actions of actual people. It acts as a shield against legal repercussions, allowing corporal entities (real people) to commit crimes, blaming the incorporeal entity instead. That's not just what it is now, that's what it was from its original conception. All Corporations are the same Legal Fiction, be they governments, businesses, companies, or any other legal framework that creates a restricted system. All corporations (of all types) exist within the framework of "law" which itself is a fiction, AKA it doesn't actually exist.
The way we employ law is in a violation of Natural Law (the only law that is not a fiction). Civil law (in the broadest sense) was supposed to be a guideline, not a Rule (the "Rule of Law" is a violation of Natural Law, excepting the Natural Laws themselves). Rule means "Control," or "actions dictated by a Sovereign." That's what the word means. That is how it was implemented. If someone is your Sovereign it means they own you (the legal definition). But by Natural Law you are Sovereign. We are ALL Sovereign. What is our Jurisdiction? That is a bigger discussion.
Instead of the appropriate use of law in concordance with Natural Law, we live within the color of law, which is in direct opposition against Natural Law. One of the most important laws from Natural Law is that all people are Sovereign (that's what "all men are created equal" means).
There are plenty of flowery words and phrases that showed that plenty of people who created the US Govt. understood Natural Law, but what was actually implemented was something else entirely.
Like I said, I can show plenty of examples if you want, using direct quotes and primary sources. Please ask specific questions to narrow the focus.
This is not a win at all. This is meaningless pacification. Will the left hate it? Yes. Can we just teach the 3 r's please
They're also seeking to ban social media for those younger than 18 years old.
Texas is still trying to stop freedom of speech and the ability for the human race to wake up from the Matrix.
Aren’t the 10 commandments for the Israelites? Why not sayings of Jesus? Those are more pertinent.
Maybe there's more to this than meets the eye.
The bill requires the Ten Commandments to be posted in every public school classroom. It must be at least 16" wide x 20" tall, poster size, with a protective or laminate cover and displayed in a place for the class to see.
I AM the LORD thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven images.
Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor ’s house.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor ’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his cattle, nor anything that is thy neighbor ’s.
Can you imagine ultra-liberal parents pulling their kids from public schools and choosing homeschooling? It applies to ALL elementary and secondary public schools in Texas. Teachers for years could ban kids from wearing religious sayings on T-shirts, from praying or even mentioning God in a classroom. No more.
strategy!
WINNING
Nice.
BUT: Will they post the REAL Commandments (from Exodus Ch 20) as written by God’s finger in stone?
Or will they post the perverted Catholic version that the “church” felt they had the “authority” to change (even removing one and splitting another into 2 so there are still 10)?
Asking for a friend (His name is Jesus Christ)
Agreed. No argument about wording or intent.
It sure is refreshing to have such people like you who understand and are accepting of Truth!
I find so many who want to cling to traditions of men, and when informed, they refuse to research and be open to the idea they have been deceived.
I’m not “infallible” and learn new things everyday. It’s what makes us the frogs we are.
Praise You, God! Many kids have no idea what the Ten Commandments even are…until this coming school year!
Ok, will that be the King James Bible or the Naughty King James Bible?
Thou shalt commit adultery ... etc.
This law is quite concerning. religion shoved in your face. Why do people get hung over 10 commandments?
You only need 2.
That said in jest, one has to wonder why this is as these 10 commandments converge into one overarching value: honor thy property and that of others.
On the other hand, the US was not founded on the 10 commandments but on 3 related values:
The Constitution expressly forbids .gov from making any law establishing a religion or tests for public office.
For Christians ... Christs has liberated you from these laws. Galatians 5.
And then the issue with the King James Bible ..... religious ponerology for political aims.
coincide ....
You are aware no doubt that in pre-bible cultures murder, theft etc were not accepted as correct.
This is basic morality.
Pontificating (irony) Egypt, Rome or Greece in this sense is misconstruing the contribution these cultures have done.
As a matter of fact, I would contend that Roman law is actually preventing us from implementing the idea of freedom.
Thank God, Praise you Lord-- it is time to bring our children back from Satanic rule, before the children are too lost and confused...
