The Texas Senate pushed through a pair of bills that would bring religion back into public school classrooms.
One bill would allow time for students and staff to pray at school.The North Texas Republican senator who wrote the Ten Commandments bill claims they are part of America’s heritage.
The Republican majority Texas Senate voted along party lines to pass a bill that would require the Ten Commandments to be prominently displayed in every public school and public charter school classroom. King said Texas schools had the Ten Commandments in the classroom in the 70s, before a court ruling removed them nationwide in 1980.
"When you're specifically putting something like the Ten Commandments up on a classroom for all students to see, that's incredibly dangerous because in a state as big as Texas, right, we have people of all kinds of faith," Fierro-Perez said.
