Texas has introduced bills to require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public classrooms. They are also pushing a bill that would replace qualified and vetted school counselors with "Chaplins" at tax-payer expense.
The bill would permit school districts to hire chaplains who, unlike school counselors, are not required to be certified by the State Board for Educator Certification. A version of the bill already sailed through the state Senate last month, and the Texas House passed an amended version Tuesday evening in a vote that appeared to fall largely along party lines, with 89 voting in favor and 58 opposed.

Stuff like this makes me happy that I homeschool. I'm a Christian, but I absolutely cannot get behind things like this. No..just no.

No. Texas wastes so much money it is asinine.
