Texas legislator calls Ten Commandments bill 'idolatrous'
In late April, the Republican-led Texas state Senate approved a law that would require every public and charter school classroom to display a poster of the Ten Commandments. On Tuesday, a Texas House committee on public education held an open discussion of the bill, with Republican state Rep. Candy Noble explaining why we should force her version of Christianity down our children’s throats.
Unfortunately for Noble, Democratic state Rep. James Talarico is on that committee, and he had some serious questions for the conservative Christian. Talarico is also practicing Christian and his reading of the Bible actually includes citing of the Gospels, which happens to fly in the face of the conservative Christian theocracy being pushed in the Lone Star state.
It was something to watch.
