Texas Senate Passes Bill Requiring 10 Commandments in Every Classroom

The legislature also passed a bill forcing schools to set aside time for students to pray and study religious texts.

Well, to me, this is indoctrination of the most presumptuous kind; pushing a particular religion, Christianity, on the masses of such a culturally diverse country as the U.S.

Children are in their formative years when in school.  Such religious imposition is an attempt to formulate their/a lifelong outlook on life, as it relates to religious beliefs.  It’s shutting their “freethinking/critical thinking box” up tight!  I, for one, don’t like it. 

If a child eventually comes to their own personal philosophies on life, or is indoctrinated with them at home, that’s one thing.  (I do believe parents/caretakers have their right to impose their beliefs on their kids, though I might not agree with those beliefs one tiny bit.)  But to impose such religious beliefs on the masses is quite another, IMO.

And you?  What do you think of this bill that now moves to the Texas state House of Representatives for passage?  Good, bad, indifferent, other?
