Texas Lt. Governor says state should have put Ten Commandments in schools before Louisiana ( www.wfaa.com )

I don't understand how people don't see this for what it is. It's a political response to drag queen story time and spicy books at the school library.

Who knows where it will end, I'd prefer it if everyone stopped using children to further their agenda.

Libraries:

• Voluntary attendance

• No required reading lists

• Religious texts from most faiths, and books about those religions

Schools:

• Penalties for both parents and students for attendance issues

• State-mandated curriculums

• Literally just ten rules from the Old Testament

It's not a political response to anything, it's a fear-based, lizard-brain reaction to it being broadly socially acceptable for queer people to exist. Decades of hate- and fearmongering, indoctrination, and tribalism caused this, not the mere existence of queer people in public.
