Texas Gov. Greg Abbott plans to sign Ten Commandments bill after Senate approval

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A Texas bill that would order the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms was advanced by the state Senate on Wednesday, sending the legislation to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk after the House of Representatives passed an amended version Sunday.

The Senate passed the GOP-drafted Senate Bill 10 in March along party lines. Despite debate and attempts to delay the bill's progress in the House in recent days, a Democratic lawmaker's amendment that requires the state, rather than school districts, to defend any legal challenges to the law was approved on Sunday. Such a change forced the bill back to the Senate for approval with only days left in the current legislative session.

With that approval in place, Abbott, a Republican, is expected to sign the bill. His spokesman referred a request for comment to what Abbott posted on X earlier this month: "Let's get this bill to my desk. I'll make it law."

Texas, the second-largest state with more than 5 million students enrolled in public schools, would follow Louisiana and most recently Arkansas in passing legislation requiring that the Ten Commandments be displayed in classrooms.

6. Texas Republicans ignore what's in the Bible

In backward Texas….

Republican Gov. Abbott to sign law putting 10 Commandments in school classrooms..

Only problem is apparently Abbott and Republicans
ARE BLATANTLY COMPLETELY IGNORING THOSE SAME TEN COMMANDMENTS

Texas Republicans are too busy telling women what women can do with their own bodies, and imposing their religious beliefs on others, to actually do a god damn thing that actually helps Texans.

Republicans IGNORE just about everything in that bible too.
