Before the final vote on Sunday, former teacher James Talarico, representative of the democratic state, indicated that the sponsor of the bill, Kandi Nobel, a republicanHe has already broken the will by forcing the house to work on Saturday.
“Do you think that the members of the legislative body should focus more on trying to follow the ten commandments instead of informing others about their follow -up?” He mocked the Texas house.
Newsweek I have sent an email to the Nobel and Talarico comment.
Why do it matter
The issue of religion in schools A long -standing topic is a controversial topic.
As a very conservative state, the legislators of Texas often tried to include Christian teachings in the educational system. In November last year, Texas agreed to a new approach that allows primary schools to do so Merging the teachings of the Bible in the lessons of some other topics.
The weekend vote on a new mandate requires the classroom to display a ten -step latitie sticker along the same way.

What do you know
Legal quarrels in Texas are on the issue of ten commandments in schools until 2023, however Senate The draft law received 10 finally initial approval when Legionships 88-49 voted in her favor this week.
Talarico, a Christian who is currently studying a master’s degree at the Austin Sheikh’s Theological School, is highly authorized by his Christian colleague, representative of the Republican State Nobel.
Nobel, which represents the city of Lucas, said it has submitted the draft law because “the way we treat others in our society comes from the principles in the Ten Commandments. These days from the chaos of the courtroom, it is time to return to the facts, to the fabric of our educational system. Respect for others.
But her most bustling opponent, Talarico, who represents Austin, argued that religion in this context is forced and excluded – and he claims to be non -Christian as well.
Talarico is a smart from Nobel, in which he forced her to admit that she was breaking the activity of one of the commandments that she was keen to follow, and virus went after that Footage of the meeting was published on his Instagram page. It has so far received more than 202,000 thousand likes.
During the discussion on SaturdayTalarico Noble asked: “What is the fourth command?” She had to consult her first notes, then one of the neighbors’ notes to respond: “Keep a day …”
“Part of preserving the sacred Sabbath does not work on Saturday?” Talarico, who agreed Nobel. Then he asked her about the dates of the Jewish and Christian Saturday, and it responded correctly on Saturday on Judaism, while the Holy Day of Christians is on Sunday, “in honor of the day when Jesus rose the dead.”
He pointed out that they were working on Saturday and were to vote on the draft law on Sunday.
“It’s ridiculous, right?” She said with a narrow smile.
“Will you be ready to postpone your bill so that we do not lose the ten commandments by working on the Jewish or Christian Sabbath?” He asked. He asked his pointed question some chants and applause from another place in the room.
“I love to say that!” She answered.
“You say that you prefer to tell people to follow the ten commandments instead of following them yourself?” He asked.
“I preferred this bill to have passed the last day when it’s time,” she said. But later added: “So again, this law revolves around honoring our historical, educational and judicial heritage with the ten will.”
Talarico also suggested that legislators may have broken other commandments, by lying, or by committing adultery.
“Do you think that the members of the legislative body should focus more on trying to follow the ten commandments instead of informing others about their follow -up?” Talarico Nobel requested on Saturday.
She replied: “I, I, a mother, as you know, we must all follow the law of God.”
